Mark & Save is opening its 23rd hyperstore in the GCC and 10th in the UAE in Dubai’s Muhaisnah area. The launch is part of the retailer’s regional expansion, with six more hyperstores planned across the GCC within the next six months.
The Muhaisnah hyperstore spans more than 150,000 square feet across multiple levels and features over 100,000 Stock Keeping Units (SKUs). It will offer a wide range of products, including fresh produce, meat, poultry, fish, bakery items, household essentials, electronics, fashion, and hot food. Around 400 employees have been recruited to support the store’s operations.
Expansion strategy
“The expansion of Mark & Save demonstrates our confidence in the UAE economy and reinforces our long-term commitment to the region. Our goal is to deliver greater value for every dirham spent by our customers,” said Debangshu Adhikari, Senior Vice President, Mark & Save.
He added, “Mark & Save has shown that retailers can deliver a world-class shopping environment and customer experience while remaining affordable. We offer customers an elevated retail experience without compromising on value. Our customers are able to purchase more by spending the same amount compared to many other retailers.”
Mark & Save, launched in 2022 by Western International Group, employs more than 5,500 people across the GCC. Mohammed Fasil, Head of Operations, said, “The Muhaisnah store marks another important milestone in Mark & Save’s growth journey. It reinforces our commitment to delivering value, variety and convenience to our customers while contributing to the local community and economy.”
The retailer plans to expand its presence globally, targeting 100 stores by 2030, while maintaining a focus on value-led pricing and customer-centric service.
