Lulu has officially opened the doors to its newest store in Motor City, Dubai following a highly successful Initial Public Offering. The move signals a better chapter in the company’s rapid expansion and growth strategy, as it continues to build on the momentum of its mega IPO launch. 

Dawood Abdulrahman Al Hajri, Director General of Dubai Municipality along with Majid Ibrahim Al Zarooni, Director of the Licensing Department of Security Industry Regulatory Agency (SIRA) inaugurated the new hypermarket in the presence of Yusuff Ali M.A., Chairman of LuLu and other dignitaries. 

“We are glad to launch our latest Hypermarket in Dubai Motor City that will provide a world-class shopping experience to the local community and its adjoining areas. We’re extremely proud to see such strong demand for the LuLu IPO, a sign that investors share our passion and excitement for the company. We look forward to rewarding the trust shown by investors in LuLu, and the new hypermarket in Motor City, Dubai, is the 16th store since the IPO declaration. We aim to open 100 stores in the next three to five years, and the latest developments underscore LuLu’s commitment and show that we are on track to achieve our targets for 2024 and beyond,” said Yusuff Ali. 

“We express our sincere gratitude to the UAE leadership for their wholehearted support”, he added. 

Located in the leafy residential area of Motor City, this state-of-the-art store spans an impressive 37,000 square feet. The new hypermarket is the 26th in Dubai Emirate and 109th in UAE. 

With this new hypermarket, the area will now offer a global shopping experience, featuring a massive collection of both locally sourced and international products. The new hypermarket is expected to become a key destination for residents and visitors in Motor City, further solidifying LuLu’s status as a leading retailer in the region. 

The state-of-the-art hypermarket will include a wide variety of categories, including groceries, fresh food, meats and fish, bakery items, dairy, pizza and snacks, hot food stations, roastry, health and beauty products, electronics, IT goods, home appliances, and more. Customers will also be able to enjoy an array of global cuisines at the store’s bakery and hot food stations.

Six additional stores are set to open soon in key areas including Al Jaddaf, JLT, Nad Al Hammar, Dubai Expo City, Khorfakhan, and Oud Al Mutina.
