Al Meera Consumer Goods
Company (Al Meera) has officially opened the doors of its new shopping
centre in Umm Garn to consumers as part of ongoing efforts to bring its
trademark shopping experience to residents of all areas across the
country.
The opening took place in presence of Al Meera acting CEO
Cobus Lombard, Al Meera Deputy CEO Salah al-Hammadi, Al-Da’ayeen
Municipality director Mubarak al-Kuwari, and Municipal Council of the
Eighteenth Circuit member Mishal al-Nuaimi.
The 2,453sqm shopping
centre is designed to cater to the needs of customers, allowing space
for a dedicated Al Meera Supermarket, seven retailers, and a food court.
Al Meera said the shopping centre provides residents with all their
shopping needs under one roof.
Al Meera Supermarket is equipped
with modern interior designs and shelving installations,
state-of-the-art technologies and facilities, and popular fresh
counters. Umm Garn residents will also benefit from a dedicated
butchery, fishery, bakery, and delicatessen.
Al-Hammadi said: “As
with every new branch that Al Meera opens, the Umm Garn store is
designed to exceed consumers’ expectations with a distinctive,
integrated shopping experience that sets the benchmark for retail chains
across the country.
“This demonstrates our tangible contribution to
the real estate development of every neighbourhood in the country. The
new shopping centre will provide consumers with a wide range of
products, while following the highest international standards for
quality assurance in processes, procedures and services, synonymous with
its motto of being everyone’s ‘Favourite Neighbourhood Retailer’.”
The
opening of the Umm Garn branch follows the launch of Al Meera’s latest
state-of-the-art stores in different areas as part of its plan to
introduce a number of new shopping centres in succession to consumers
across various underserved regions and others witnessing a population
boom.
Al Meera is currently working on the setup of more stores in
locations that have been carefully chosen, in close co-ordination with
the Ministry of Municipality and Environment to further contribute to
the development and urbanisation of more districts and
territories.
The
ambitious expansion plan has been set in motion as an answer to Al
Meera’s strategic research and its mission to continue serving the
diverse communities in Qatar wherever they are, while effectively
contributing to the urban development of the country, the company said.
