The makeovers have begun at the company’s very first outlet in the UAE on King Faisal Road, which opened its doors in 1969.
The UAE supermarket retailer Spinneys is going back to its roots. The brand has gone in for a complete overhaul of its King Faisal Road store in Sharjah, which, incidentally, is also the first location in the UAE.
The 22,000sq ft store is now equipped with ‘Arabesque-inspired interiors’ as Spinneys starts the rollout of new store experiences. And in a nod to current trends in the supermarket space, the King Faisal Road facility also comes with a café, as operators work to extend the time spent by shoppers in-store.
“We remain dedicated to providing outstanding customer service at all times,” said Sunil Kumar, the CEO who had earlier worked as assistant store manager at the very same store. “We look forward to welcoming some familiar and new faces at the store.”
In its 60th year of operations in the UAE, Spinneys operates 65 stores here. “The current revamp is not part of a major rebranding – but a revamp in the design of the stores, bringing a fresh look with accents of Arabesque design,” the CEO said.
