Abu Dhabi’s largest shopping destination Yas Mall has announced the opening of its flagship Carrefour hypermarket in co-ordination with Majid Al Futtaim, the leading shopping mall developer, retail and leisure pioneer in the region.

The new Yas Mall branch of Carrefour, spanning 15,384 sq m, will be the first in the emirate to include all its bespoke food concepts including Food 2 Go, Healthy Kitchen, Chocolate Factory, Candy Store and Green Home.

It will provide everything a customer could need, offering an unrivalled choice of more than 100,000 products from food to non-food as well as thousands of household goods, said a statement from Yas Mall.

In addition, the hypermarket will include live cooking stations with the best ready-to-eat meals prepared by specialised chefs on-site, it stated.

Saoud Khoory, the general manager of Yas Mall, said: "We are proud that Carrefour has chosen Yas Mall for their first flagship store in Abu Dhabi and we are looking forward to our visitors experiencing a new level of shopping as they will now have access to an incredible range of bespoke concepts and products.”

As Yas Island is conveniently located 25 minutes from the capital’s city centre, it is the ideal place to shop for their needs, he stated.

It also adheres to Yas Mall’s long-term goal and strategy to act as the lifestyle hub for Yas Island residents; Aldar Properties is set to handover properties later in the year, giving residents direct access to Carrefour to satisfy their daily shopping needs.
 
Miguel Angel Povedano, the chief operating officer of Carrefour UAE at Majid Al Futtaim Retail said: "We are proud to be the anchor store at the Yas Mall and offer our customers a world-class shopping experience. In addition to convenience, Yas Mall Carrefour Hypermarket will offer over 100,000 products and brands, catering to a wide range of needs and tastes."

"This flagship store in Abu Dhabi, is in-line with our expansion strategies in the UAE and our plans to offer convenience for our customers’ daily shopping, in our aim to create great moments for everyone everyday," he added.-TradeArabia News Service
