The Wall Street Journal reports that in the wake of his decision to pull the company out of Greece because of that nation's troubled economy and uncertain future, Carrefour's new CEO, George Plassat, says that he believes that it will take him three years to turn around the world's second largest retailer.

Plassat also says that his goal is to "reduce the French retailer's global footprint and improve the efficiency of its stores as he seeks to bolster profitability," as well as reducing debt and cutting overhead wherever possible.

KC's View: Maybe this speaks well of Walmart's efforts to acquire Bolivia and Columbia operations from Carrefour.

And, if you're interested in acquiring one of Carrefour's global division, just give Plassat a call. Bulgaria, perhaps? Or Algeria? Carrefour's corporate headquarters phone number is 33-1-55-63-39-00. Ask for George.
