The new Lulu hypermarket in Oud Al Muteena was inaugurated by Sayed Ismail Al Hashemi, chief executive officer of the Institutional Support Services Sector at Dubai Municipality, in the presence of Lulu Group chairman Yusuffali M.A.

The outlet expands Lulu Group's retail network in Dubai and is its 291st store across the GCC. Yusuffali said the group is strengthening its presence to serve more communities, including areas on the outskirts of major cities, as the UAE continues to grow.

He said several further projects are in the pipeline, including seven in the Dubai region.

The hypermarket stocks groceries, fresh fruit and vegetables, bakery items, fresh foods, hot meals and other daily essentials. It also includes sections for fashion accessories, home appliances and electronics.
