This branch marks the 11th Waitrose store in the UAE
Premium British supermarket, Waitrose & Partners, has opened its 11th store in the UAE. The new branch, the third largest in the country is located in Dubai’s Motor City.
The retailer is popular with the city’s expats thanks to its focus on ‘quality over quantity’, offering fresh premium groceries as well as sustainable practices. Waitrose Motor City is the first store to offer a ‘refillable zone’ which encourages customers to bring their own containers with nuts, coffee, pulses and dried fruits.
Waitrose sources locally where possible and there will also be UAE produce including fresh fruit and vegetables, organic salmon and eggs. In addition, the supermarket and its car park have been fitted with environmentally friendly solar panels as a commitment towards a greener, cleaner, more sustainable future.
“We believe that by always being fair, never wasteful and transforming the lives of those who create, eat and enjoy it – our food can be a force for good,” said Sunil Kumar, CEO, Waitrose.
