Qatar’s first ‘digitally smart’ Monoprix in Qatar will rise at Msheireb Downtown Doha (MDD) later this year, giving its residents and visitors a one-of-its-kind shopping experience.
To be located at the soon-to-open Galleria mall, Monoprix Msheireb promises an enhanced customer service using one of the most advanced retail software solutions – set be launched for the first time in the region.
“Since its inception, MDD is set to revive the city centre of Doha in the smartest and most sustainable way. We are proud that we have succeeded to work with local and international partners to ensure that all the services provided across the city centre development are in alignment with our promise to our residents and visitors,” Msheireb Properties acting CEO Ali al-Kuwari said.
He and and Ali Bin Ali Holding vice chairman and EVP Nabeel Ali Bin Ali signed an agreement on April 2 at MDD’s Cultural Forum to put up the Monoprix Msheireb. It was also attended by Monoprix regional manager Sebastien Farhat.
“Today’s agreement guarantees an exclusive smart and convenient experience offered by one the best retail brand in the industry. We are very happy with this partnership, and I would like to thank the Ali Bin Ali Group for their support and their keenness on offering top-of-the-line services to MDD,” al-Kuwari added. 
Ali Bin Ali Holding is one of the largest conglomerates in Qatar and the owner of the Monoprix franchise in the country.
Once fully operational, Monoprix Msheireb will offer an extensive organic range of 12,000 items sourced internationally, as well as a new dine-in Qatari-food concept, sushi bar and pasta and pizza corner. 
The hypermarket, which currently operates two outlets at West Bay (Palm Towers) and Doha Festival City, vowed to continuously support local initiatives and stock all local Qatari made products.
In addition, Monoprix Msheireb will also launch its famous Concierge and the ‘Shop & Go’ concepts at MDD, making the shopping experience for customers more convenient and comfortable. 
MDD, developed by Msheireb Properties, is the smartest and most sustainable fully-built city district in the world and Qatar’s destination for leisure, living and business. 
With all buildings either gold or platinum LEED-certified, Msheireb Properties noted that the district adheres to the highest standards in green building and smart services.
“As a Group, we seek out partnerships that complement our long-standing reputation and help us enrich the local market,” Ali Bin Ali said.
“MDD’s infrastructure, its vision and the services, make it the most suitable platform for us to introduce our retail software solution exclusively at Monoprix Msheireb, our new store that will be servicing the new heart of Doha,” he added.
Founded in 1932, Monoprix is a renowned French brand offering the best of food retailing along with clothing, household items, perfumes, gift items and more.
