To further strengthen its presence in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia, UAE-based retailer LuLu Group has opened its 28th hypermarket in the country, in Saihat.
The new store, spanning 133,000 square feet, features a supermarket, department store, BLSH cosmetics, LuLu Connect digital and electronics emporium.
Chairman and managing director of LuLu Group in Saihat, Yusuffali M.A., said: “The opening of this new store in Al Muntazah District of Eastern Province helps LuLu to align its future growth with the opportunities that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has made available to investors.
“The leadership of Saudi Arabia has taken bold steps to empower its youth and invest in new areas such as agri-business and local food – not only is this vital for food security but it also gives nationals a sense of identity and pride in their country. The LuLu Group will do everything possible to support this and use its retail footprint to excellent effect for this purpose.”
To maintain its focus on digitalisation and sustainability, instead of conventional paper receipts, the store will be sending customers e-receipts in the form of an SMS message.
LuLu Hypermarket was one of the first retail chains in the GCC region to switch to biodegradable bags.
