One of the leading grocery retail operators of hypermarkets and supermarkets in Saudi Arabia BinDawood Holding opens first Danube supermarket in Bahrain.

Commenting on the opening, Khalid BinDawood, managing director of BinDawood Holding, said, “Today we celebrate the opening of our first international store by bringing the Danube grocery shopping experience to customers in Bahrain. We are thrilled to be the anchor grocery retailer on the Al Liwan project and bring our new customers in Hamala the unique Danube grocery shopping experience, offering fresh, high-quality and healthy food options for the dynamic community here. The Danube supermarket brand is synonymous with excellence, offering a wide variety of special offers and carefully selected exclusive imported goods. We are delighted this store; a 5,000 square metre [53,820 sqft] space will enhance the grocery shopping experience of the local residents. We are also actively recruiting more staff to work in the store who will support us in providing the supreme customer service and in-store experience of our Danube brand.”

It is part of an ongoing expansion plan whereby BinDawood Holding is adding five-six new stores per year to its portfolio until 2024.
