LuLu, the largest hypermarket chain in the region, opened its 210th store at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre (ADNEC), Abu Dhabi, yesterday. The store, a LuLu Express Fresh Market was inaugurated by Ahmed Al Mansoori (Director Engineering Services -ADNEC) in the presence of Mr. Ashraf Ali, Executive Director of LuLu Group, Mr. Saifee Rupawala, CEO of LuLu Group and Mr. Aboobakker TP, Director- Abu Dhabi & Al Dhafra Region as well as government dignitaries, and other LuLu officials.
Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Ashraf Ali M.A., said: “The LuLu Express Fresh Market concept is a part of our expansion plans and demonstrates how flexible and open the LuLu Group is to retail market demands and community requirements. While our flagship LuLu Hypermarkets are still very popular and the engines of our growth, we do believe that the more intimate and smaller Express stores will help us reach the heart of the communities and augment our presence. It is part of the LuLu Group’s vision to embed itself in the government’s vision to make this nation the most modern and progressive country in the world.”
With hundreds of exhibitions, conferences, corporate events and visitors throughout the year, the ADNEC LuLu Express Fresh Market store format will offer convenience with easy access to an extensive array of high-quality products from around the world, from locally sourced fresh food to imported grocery essentials, organic and “free from” range for the health-conscious customer base, premium meat and fish selection, cheeses and deli products, household needs and so much more.
With 210 stores operating worldwide, LuLu has been continuously exerting its greatest efforts to provide and sustain the supply of global products at the best rates. With the excellent combination of high-quality offerings and organised logistics system, LuLu remains to be the favourite shopping destination in the UAE when it comes to a broader selection of international products.
