Dubai retailer Union Coop introduces ‘self-checkout’

Union Coop has introduced seasonal product displays and services across its stores to accommodate rising consumer demand during the summer travel period.

Travel products in focus

The retailer has set up dedicated areas for popular travel-related items such as luggage, chocolates, souvenirs, toys, beauty products, and snacks. It is also offering a variety of beach and poolside essentials, including water sports gear, to serve residents spending the summer locally.

In addition, Union Coop has launched a new section for pet supplies, featuring pet food, grooming tools, toys, and accessories.

Managing high footfall

Union Coop noted a surge in shopping activity toward the end of each month and expects a further rise in customer visits during the holiday season. The retailer stated it is fully prepared to manage increased footfall and reduce delays at checkout areas.

The retailer also highlighted that customers’ purchasing behavior varies depending on their travel destinations. “These preferences are carefully considered when planning promotions and product assortments,” the cooperative said.

Union Coop’s efforts reflect a broader approach to seasonal planning, aiming to streamline the shopping experience during peak periods.
