BIGGEST WAITROSE SUPERMARKET IN DUBAI MARINA MALL LAUNCHED

Thursday, 15 Jan 2009

On 15 January this year, the Dubai Marina will open its biggest supermarket, a Waitrose store, at the 2009 Dubai Shopping Festival. The Dubai Marina Mall, a newly launched leisure and shopping venue for people who live in the environs of the Dubai Marina, offers residents a mixture of top class retail shopping options, and its launch has been timed to correspond with the Dubai Shopping Festival. The new Waitrose shop is built on a 26,000 square foot property in Dubai, and will offer shoppers a wide variety of high-quality food and beverage products.

The new property in Dubai is situated on promenade floor, which has entrances to the car parking area close by, making the shop conveniently accessible for shoppers. A tunnel just beyond exit 32 gives quick access to the Dubai Marina Mall from Sheikh Zayed Road, and the Dubai property also has a quick access route from Emaar Drive. The Fine Food Market LLC has granted Waitrose a licence contract to launch the new shop in the mall. Waitrose made its debut outside the UK in November last year at the mall.

The general manager of Dubai Marina Mall, Mr Ian Ferguson, said that the new Waitrose shop will provide an excellent selection of top-class products to suit the needs and lifestyle of people who live in accommodations in Dubai Marina and the adjacent areas. The shop has huge brand impartiality and will therefore be attractive to a large variety of customers. The new shop’s launch will enhance the already considerable selection of retail shops that have already been opened in the mall, and reflect the mall’s goal of providing a vast array of excellent shops to the city’s residents.

The new Waitrose Dubai property will offer only Halal food products in its primary shopping area, and will also boast a butchery, fresh vegetable and fruit section, fishmongers and bakery, in keeping with the shop’s considerable reputation for selling fresh products.
