Carrefour Denies Rumors Of Shutting Down In Lebanon

Of the (many) inaccurate stories being shared on WhatsApp was a rumor circulating last night regarding the shut down of the large supermarket chain Carrefour in Lebanon.

The post, which made the rounds on social media, stated that the chain retailer would be shutting their doors in June, citing financial and economic troubles.

However, in a phone call to Carrefour, we were able to confirm that this is but a rumor and that the hypermarket had no plans of closing down. Additionally, they announced the reopening of their stores to customers just yesterday with an Instagram post.
