Consumer habits are ever evolving, and it is imperative for destinations to stay ahead of the curve in order to achieve success.
Physical retail spaces around the world are increasingly transforming into experiential and immersive hubs where people want to socialise and be entertained, not just where they go for quick visits. Dubai has long catered to this demand, with our iconic malls and retail destinations seamlessly blending shopping, diverse dining, unique entertainment, and even community events all in one location. This also helps us cater to demands for hyper-personalisation, as more and more shoppers expect experiences to be tailor-made to their individual preferences.

“In the grocery industry, our experience or assortment can be diverse and varied as compared to one another, but what remains steadfast is our approach to customers. It is extremely important and vital for us to understand our customer base very pointedly and at present businesses need to adapt to the new customers that recently got inducted into the workforce and started to bring forth their purchasing power. This is the new customer base that we all need to pay attention to talk to and approach in a very different way, as they are from a different generation.”
