French supermarket Carrefour has opened its first vegan butcher shop in the typically meat-loving France!
Operating in 12,000 locations and standing as the 8th largest supermarket chain in the world, Carrefour is making a statement that vegan products are a positive addition to your weekly shopping list.
Following the move already in place in cities such as Chicago, Minneapolis and in the UK, France has decided to join in with a vegan butcher shop opening in the corner of the supermarket chain. It will feature vegan options in a similar trend to that of a traditional butcher shop-style manner. The products will be supplied by the vegetarian butcher, a popular Dutch brand owned by Unilever.
Carrefour commented: “Bringing these two types of products together simplifies the shopping experience for our customers who want to go vegan. The second big first is that Carrefour is the first major retailer to market these delicious products that have already won over Burger King.”
This latest news of a new vegan butcher shop in France is indicative of just how far we’ve come and that the market is slowly changing to meet the growing demand for vegan products. And it’s especially important to be occurring in a country like France that is notorious for its consumption of meat and dairy and a relatively slow increase in veganism.
