Spar International has entered into a partnership agreement with Abu Dhabi Co-operative Society (ADCOOPS) that aims to boost the retailer’s presence in the Middle East.
ADCOOPA has opened, under licence, a flagship store for each format – hypermarket, supermarket and convenience – in the Aby Dhabi region. The company opened its first Spar hypermarket this weekend (26 January).
The agreement between the two groups also provides ADCOOPS the option to sub-license Spar “to suitable partners” in the Middle East North Africa region.
“We are very excited at the development of Spar in the UAE and delighted to have an excellent partner in ADCOOPS. They have spared no effort in finding excellent locations and have opened quality stores providing customers with an exciting customer experience. The strong position of ADCOOPS in the UAE market enables Spar to provide great prices and an extensive range of products to meet all shopping needs,” Dr. Gordon Campbell, Spar International MD said.
