Al Meera Consumer Goods Company has opened its new branch in Al Wakrah (East), its third Al Meera branch to open its doors to consumers in Al Wakrah.
The opening of the new shopping centre comes within the framework of Al Meera’s Corporate Social Responsibility by providing high quality products to communities, and to keep pace with the urban development and population growth Qatar is witnessing.
The new Al Wakrah (East) shopping centre is located in the Al Jabal area and spans a total 2,267sq m, of which, 1,500sq m comprises the supermarket area. The branch provides sections for vegetables, fruits and delicatessen, along with self-service stations for chicken and meat.
A number of shops and restaurants will begin providing its services to its customers “at the soonest,” Al Meera said in a statement.
The statement added the shopping centre was built in accordance with the highest international standards and furnished with modern interior designs and lighting systems that ensure “a distinctive shopping experience.” The supermarket is equipped with world-class technologies and facilities, in addition to a large outdoor parking space, further fulfilling Al Meera’s vision of becoming Qatar’s ‘Favourite Neighbourhood Retailer’.
The opening ceremony was inaugurated by Al Meera vice chairman Dr Saif Said al-Sowaidi in the presence of Al Meera management. Al-Sowaidi said: “We are committed to providing the best services to all citizens and residents in the state of Qatar, especially for the city dwellers that witnessed a great population growth. The opening of the Al Wakrah (East) branch comes as a result of the massive growth witnessed by Al Wakrah, whose rise in residents required another branch to meet their needs.”
The current expansion phase of five stores, which is set to add a total of 9,709 sq m supermarket area to Al Meera’s presence in Qatar, is part of Al Meera’s 14 shopping centres expansion plan. There are six stores currently under construction: Rawdat Aba El Heran, Azghawa, Leaibab, Umm Qarn, Al Khor, and Sailiya. These ‘state-of-the-art stores’ will bring the expansion plan to a total of 11 out of 14 branches.
