Agthia Group, a leading food and beverage group in the UAE, has opened its first store in Dubai and launched a partnership programme with UAE government institutions.

 The new store was opened with a ribbon cutting ceremony attended by Mohamed Haji Al Khoori, director general of the Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan Foundation.

The new Agthia store, located in Um Al Ramool, allows members from a wide range of government organisations to purchase various products at discounted prices. The Ministry of Interior (Fazaa), Dubai Economic Department, Homat Al Watan, Sheikh Khalifa Foundation and many others, are participating in the programme.

The Dubai store is Agthia’s second store, after the one in Port Zayed, Abu Dhabi, opened in 2016. The programme is planned to expand further into Ras Al Khaimah and Fujairah in the coming months.

Al Khoori said: “We are proud to extend our partnership with Agthia through the launch of this new Dubai store. The Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan Foundation is driven by collaborative programmes that can benefit UAE society and this initiative further demonstrates how Agthia continues to make an important, positive contribution to the local community. We look forward to strengthening our partnership with Agthia as this programme expands into other emirates.”

Tariq Al Wahedi, chief executive officer of Agthia, said: “Agthia is delighted to open its first store in Dubai and launch this exciting partnership with UAE government institutions. The benefits provided to those participating in the programme are emblematic of Agthia’s commitment to provide local communities with convenient access to high-quality food and beverage products closer to their homes. We look forward to continuing our partnership with the government by opening further locations across the UAE over the coming year.”
