* LuLu Hypermarket Abu Sidra Qatar wins award for ‘Most Admired In-Store Innovation of the Year’
LuLu Hypermarket has set a new benchmark in the Mena retail industry by winning two key awards which span its achievements not just in terms of in-store innovation, but also its reinvention of sourcing and marketing of the core staple of the hypermarket business – food and grocery.
The awards were given at the prestigious Images RetailME Awards 2021 and showcased why LuLu is a favourite with shoppers across 22 countries and has a growing business footprint.
The LuLu Group's higher management, who represented the company at the awards ceremony held at Conrad Dubai, included James Varghese, director of LuLu Hypermarkets Dubai and Northern Emirates; Thamban KP, regional director of LuLu Hypermarkets Dubai and Northern Emirates; Huzefa Rupawala, regional manager of LuLu Hypermarkets Dubai and Northern Emirates; and Rahul Saxena, head of marketing of LuLu Hypermarkets Dubai and Northern Emirates.
LuLu Hypermarket Abu Sidra Qatar won the award for the ‘Most Admired In-Store Innovation of the Year’ for the way the hypermarket management elevated the whole shopping experience in the store by stacking up some of the latest trends and conveniences into what is reputed to be the region’s largest hypermarket.
The retail giant’s focus is still very much on underscoring the best range of products, the healthiest ideas and the most sustainable presentation and packaging with the LuLu promise of top-quality customer care.
LuLu Group chairman and managing director Yusuff Ali MA said, “What we are really focused on is that we should deliver the same level of excellence in customer service and quality to our valued customers. That is the LuLu promise we are striving to keep in every LuLu retail outlet.”
The Abu Sidra hypermarket will pump up its retail scene in time for Qatar’s FIFA 2022. The store is a reaffirmation of the Group’s confidence in the vision and energy of Qatar’s leadership and part of a global expansion plan that has already put the Group in the Deloitte Top 150 list of Global Retailers for 2021.
The second award that LuLu won was ‘Most Admired Retailer of the Year – Food & Grocery’, given in recognition of the state-of-the-art management of the Group’s sourcing, its efficient tapping of a vast global network of professionally managed food sourcing offices in 22 countries and the imaginative way in which LuLu makes food and produce trends accessible to customers.
Be it through trade council partnerships, supporting local food production and farmers or celebrating world cuisines and culture with mouth-watering in-house food festivals and year-round national celebrations, LuLu makes the whole shopping experience a joyful, healthy and meaningful one. The retail giant also enables the most convenient facilities for shoppers through a network of local food delivery partnerships and online channels.
LuLu has also creatively developed its own collection of grocery and non-food items that are labelled under its unique and homegrown brands.
Since 2003, more than 5,000 products have been introduced in stores to cater to the specific needs of its customers of various nationalities. The well-patronised products are sourced and made from LuLu Group’s manufacturing plants and partner distributors.
“We are honoured to be awarded these two prestigious accolades at the RetailME Awards 2021 and thank our customers who have inspired us to always strive to deliver the very best,” said LuLu Group executive director Ashraf Ali MA.
“In the fast-changing world of the hypermarket business, LuLu has stayed ahead by investing in continuous upgrading of all facilities and especially in always keeping in focus our mantra of customer service excellence. Our objective is to keep updating our catalogue so that shoppers can continue to find shopping at LuLu a richly satisfying and exciting experience.”
