Amazon revealed plans for the next phase of its headquarters redevelopment in Virginia, featuring a signature 350-foot (107-meter) helix-shaped office tower that can be climbed from the outside like a mountain hike. The head-turning helix building is the centerpiece of the proposal that also features multiple 22-story office buildings in addition to those already under construction as the company looks to accommodate 25,000 new workers over the coming years in the Arlington County neighborhoods across the Potomac River from the nation s capital.
US: Kroger to pilot self-checkout only grocery store in Dallas
Prosol, owner of the French fresh food chain
Grand Frais. However, the target is no small beer: the takeover could well cost between 3 and 4 billion euros.
Tactical acquisition
Carrefour has set its sights on Prosol, the umbrella company above the Grand Frais fresh food markets. The fruit and vegetables, fish and dairy departments in those stores are managed by Prosol itself, while other partners take care of the butcher s, grocery and bakery departments. In the event of a takeover, Carrefour would therefore largely control Grand Frais.
Since 2017, Prosol also has its own store concept, called
Fresh. That chain has about 20 stores, but hopes to have 100 branches by 2025. Prosol has also opened two stores in Italy under the Banco Fresco banner.
