The company plans to bring its licensed brands Géant, Franprix and Monoprix to even more communities across the emirates.
Urban Foods has announced that they plan to open six more stores by the end of 2020, five of which are expected to be Géant stores and possibly one Monoprix store. Urban Foods stores are close to communities and therefore have still managed to adapt easily to the change in shopping behaviour.
“It feels great to have relaunched the Géant brand in the UAE, amidst great customer response. We made some adaptations within the Express format to make it warmer and friendlier. The flooring, made using tile and wood, is done in a manner that helps in navigating from one section to another. These adaptations have been well-received by the customers,” states Mark Lack, CEO, Urban Foods.
As Urban Foods is on an expansion spree, Lack also highlights the key role that the team has played throughout the pandemic to ensure every store opening happened successfully. “Not only that, our people, the Urbanites, have always served customers with a smile. For us, they are true heroes. And on our part, we have undertaken all possible measures to ensure the highest level of safety for our people and customers,” he concludes.
