Alosra Supermarket, a subsidiary of BMMI, is working on a plan to launch its fifth outlet at the soon-to-open Al Raya Shopping Centre, Juffair.

Operated by One Bahrain Hospitality, the new four-storey neighbourhood community centre will be connected to the Residence Inn by Marriott Hotel and is scheduled for completion by the end of this year, said a report in our sister publication, the Gulf Daily News.

"As one of the capital's most preferred locations with many modern residential neighbourhoods, hotels and restaurants, Juffair will now boast another jewel in its crown - the Al Raya Shopping Centre," said One Bahrain Hospitality general manager Teodor Ardeleanu.

"Strategically placed to deliver on our mission of everything closer to you, Al Raya promises to be a stylish boutique mall with Alosra as its anchor store.

"Neighbouring commercial and residential buildings will benefit greatly from the retail chain's fresh, high-quality and speciality products and friendly service."

Alosra general manager Jaffar Al Asfoor said, "As our supermarket and brand expand, we need to ensure that quality and consistency are at the core of our operations in order to succeed.

"Having successfully received certification in the ISO 22000 food safety standard, we are pulling our weight to ensure this promise is fulfilled along with additional customer satisfaction initiatives in the pipeline."

The first Alosra Supermarket operated as the anchor store of the Najibi Centre community mall located in the upmarket Saar-Budaiya family neighbourhood.

Since then, Alosra has branched out with outlets on the Islands of Amwaj, Durrat Al Bahrain, Riffa Palms and now Juffair.-TradeArabia News Service
