Lulu Group has opened its 22nd hypermarket and department store in Qatar.
With this latest opening in Al Dhakhira, Al Khor, Lulu Group has reached its goal of having 22 stores in the country by the end of this year in order to reaffirm its presence in the GCC region.
Serving international football fans and prevening food shortages across all its branches at the height of the Fifa World Cup 2022 has been the key mission of Lulu Hypermarket.
Chairman and managing director of Lulu Group, Yusuff Ali, said during the inauguration ceremony: “By the Grace of God, we succeeded in our plan as there was not any shortage of food products or a price increase in Qatar during the event.
“This is what we promised ahead of the World Cup. We have also planned to open six more outlets in the next year.”
Regarding Lulu’s contribution to the Fifa World Cup 2022, Mr Ali said that Lulu Hypermarket dedicated a team comprising 220 employees to appeal to the diverse tastes of different nationalities.
Director of Lulu Group International, Mohamed Althaf, said Lulu intends to reach out to the maximum number of people in Qatar by opening new stores at their respective localities to save their time.
“The new outlet will serve the residents of Al Dhakhira and its suburbs in addition to an expected growing population in near future following the North Field Expansion development plan of mega liquefied natural gas trains,” he said.
“We received an overwhelming response from customers, especially fans. Our prime focus was to serve the fans who came from all over the World by providing quality foods in large quantities. We succeeded in our plan as no shortage of food or any price hike was recorded at all throughout the event.”
The new hypermarket is the second outlet of Lulu Group on the outskirt of Al Khor. It is the first largest store set up in the Al Dhakhira area covering 7,800 square metres with all product ranges.
