Al Meera Consumer Goods Company has opened its 48th store in Al Khor in the framework of its ongoing efforts to bring its trademark shopping experience to residents across the country.

The opening ceremony took place in the presence of Al Meera chairman Sheikh Thani bin Thamer bin Mohamed al-Thani, Al Meera vice-chairman Dr Saif al-Sowaidi, Al Meera board member Mohamed Abdula al-Mustafawi al-Hashemi, businessman Ahmad Siddiqi, Al Meera acting CEO Cobus Lombard, and Al Meera Deputy CEO Salah al-Hammadi, as well as a number of executives.

Measuring 3,549.28 sq m, the shopping centre is designed to cater to family shopping experience. It adheres to world-class standards at the service of consumer needs, and will provide residents with all their requirements under one roof. The mall was built in line with the company’s objective of being the ‘Favourite Neighbourhood Retailer’.

Al Meera Supermarket is equipped with modern interior designs and shelving installations, state-of-the-art technology and facilities, along with providing the most popular fresh sections. Al-Hammadi said: “It’s great that more people than ever before have access to our high quality, fresh, and locally sourced products at incredible value, and as a result, we’re able to create more jobs for local communities in the country.”

He added: “As with every new branch that Al Meera opens, Al Khor branch 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 branch 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 objective of being everyone’s ‘Favourite Neighbourhood Retailer’”.

The opening of Al Khor branch follows the launch of Al Meera’s latest state-of-the-art stores throughout Qatar, as part of its plan to introduce a number of new shopping centres to consumers across either underserved regions or others witnessing a population boom.

Al Meera is currently working on the setup of more branches in locations that have been carefully chosen in close co-ordination with the Ministry of Municipality and Environment (MME) 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.
