Al Meera’s Leaibab 2 Branch Opens Its Doors
May 24, 2017
Al Meera Consumer Goods Company has opened the doors to its new
Community Shopping Mall in Leaibab, which introduces Al Meera’s
trademark modern interior designs, cutting-edge technologies and
state-of-the-art facilities to the underserved area. The branch
opening was inaugurated by Dr. Saif Al Sowaidi, Vice Chairman of
the Board of Directors, Mr. Cobus Lombard, Al Meera’s Acting
CEO, Sales and Operations Director and Mr. Mishaal Bin Abdullah
Al Nuaimi, a member of the 18th District Central Municipal
Council and Al Meera representatives.
The launch marks the inauguration of one of the largest Al Meera
supermarkets in Qatar, and caters to the shopping needs of
citizens and residents in Leaibab, while providing them with the
chance to make use of the Company’s ‘1438 consumer goods at cost
price’ special campaign during the Holy Month of Ramadan.
Al Meera’s Leaibab 2 branch is the last shopping center to
launch in the Company’s five-store phase of its 14-branch
expansion plan, and comes in the framework of Al Meera’s mission
to provide the highest quality products at affordable prices to
the communities in which it operates, as well as keep pace with
the urban and real estate development of Qatar’s various
regions.
The 5100 m2 Community Mall features a 2500 m2 supermarket space
that has been built in accordance with international standards,
and is equipped with advanced lighting systems, modern
interiors, supporting facilities and a huge parking space, to
ensure a distinctive shopping experience for its patrons. In
addition to that, there are dedicated spaces for shops and
restaurants that will be providing their services to shoppers in
the near future.
Commenting on the launch of the new branch, Dr. Saif Al Sowaidi
said:
“Wherever Al Meera marks its presence, it strives to make a real
difference in the shopping experience of citizens and residents.
This is why it is our profound pleasure to introduce consumers
to the Leaibab 2 branch, one of the largest Al Meera
supermarkets in Qatar and a state-of-the-art Community Mall that
sets a new benchmark for retail shopping in the area. The
opening of our new branch not only serves our ambitious
expansion plan, but also reflects our commitment towards the
community in which we operate. With a holistically integrated
shopping journey and best-in-class services, the fully-equipped
store meets consumers’ entire spectrum of needs under one roof,
and marks a milestone in our expansion strategy that is set to
drive Al Meera’s future growth and confirm its status as the
leading retail chain in the country.”
He added: “This auspicious occasion comes in the lead up to the
Holy Month, ensuring Al Meera delivered on their promise. Our
new branch provides shoppers in the region with the opportunity
to make full use of our line-up of Ramadan campaign and offers,
reaffirming the Company’s commitment to offer consumers a vast
range of competitively priced food and non-food products and an
unmatched shopping experience that complements our community
development efforts and ongoing initiatives that give back to
the community in which we operate. Moreover, we believe that
Community Shopping Centers represent an important element in the
growth and development strategy of Al Meera, and our brand new
branch in Leaibab is a huge step forward in that direction.”
During the second quarter of 2016, initial works were taking
place on six new shopping centers, across various regions in the
country, covering Al Khor, Umm Qarn, Rawdat Aba El Heran, Al
Sailiya, Leaibab 1 and Azghawa, which will see completion during
2017. Upon the accomplishment of finalizing their construction,
Al Meera stores will be expected to reach 50 branches in Qatar
by the end of 2017.
Al Meera’s 14-branch expansion plan comes as a result of
strategic research and a firmly-set strategy to keep pace with
Qatar’s urban planning, which has extended to new areas and
others that have recently witnessed a population boom, thereby
bringing Al Meera’s trademark shopping experience to more
consumers across the country, while further fulfilling its motto
of being everyone’s ‘Favorite Neighborhood Retailer’.
