Saudi-based retail operator BinDawood Holding is opening Bahrain’s first Danube Supermarket.
Located in Al Liwan mall, the store is the start of BinDawood Holding’s international expansion.
Ahmed Yusuf, CEO of Seef Properties, Al Liwan’s developer, said: “We are delighted with the opening of Danube Supermarket in Al Liwan.
“BinDawood Holding’s choice of Al Liwan for its first branch outside the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia means a lot to us, especially since Al Liwan strives to combine modern facilities with diverse hospitality, retail and entertainment options to represent a promising tourist destination for citizens, residents and visitors from outside Bahrain, especially our Saudi brethren.
“Our partnership with BinDawood Holding will be a valuable addition to Al Liwan to be more diversified and a major tributary of the national economy.”
Becoming part of BinDawood Holding back in 2001 has brought Danube’s total footprint to 55 across Saudi Arabia and Bahrain.
Managing director of BinDawood Holding, Khalid BinDawood, said: “We are pleased our expansion outside Saudi Arabia has begun in Bahrain, especially at Al Liwan, whose strategic location near the King Fahd Causeway targets a large segment of tourists, visitors and residents in Bahrain.
“The opening of the new supermarket reflects our ambitious plans to enhance our presence in neighbouring markets, with the Kingdom of Bahrain having a special standing among Saudi companies and investors. We aim to reach the largest possible base of customers to offer them the unique and enjoyable shopping experience with our Danube brand.”
BinDawood Holding operates 82 stores across Saudi Arabia and Bahrain, employing more than 10,000 people.
