UAE-based Grandiose Supermarket has been awarded the Most Admired Retailer of the Year within the food and grocery category at the Images RetailME Awards — an annual industry gathering held alongside the Middle East Retail Forum.
Part of the multi-business conglomerate Ghassan Aboud Group, the homegrown supermarket received this accolade for its bold expansion and commitment to offering a high-quality customer experience.
CEO of Grandiose Supermarket, James Scott, said: “It is an honour to receive this prestigious title that is a testament to our ongoing expansion and growing customer loyalty.
“We would also like to take this opportunity to thank our customer community for their continued love and support. This win gives a further boost to our fantastic team to continue our growth plans for the coming years. We remain committed to offering an unparalleled grocery shopping experience and being the preferred destination for diverse communities to come and shop together.”
Grandiose Supermarket has recently solidified its plans to finish the year strong, with 30 operational outlets across Dubai and Abu Dhabi. The chain also hopes to add more than 15 new stores next year to complement its robust expansion strategy.
Ghassan Aboud Group is an international conglomerate headquartered in the UAE, with offices in Australia, Belgium, Jordan and Turkey. Established in 1994 by Ghassan Aboud, the group has evolved from its early foundations in the automotive industry to a conglomerate holding some of the most well-entrenched businesses in multiple sectors in the region.
In 2017, Grandiose Supermarket became the first retail chain in the UAE to substitute single-use plastic bags for free paper alternatives.
“Our goal is to become the number one grocery retailer that promotes, highlights and actively advocates sustainability, family values and a sincere feel of a like-minded community. By coming closer to every neighbourhood of the UAE, we are looking forward to Grandiose becoming an echoing household name synonymous with quality, sustainability, and now also convenience,” Mr Scott said.
