7-Eleven opens first ME store in Dubai

DUBAI, October 14, 2015

Seven Emirates Investment, a master franchisee of 7-Eleven, has opened its first 7-Eleven Middle East store in Dubai, UAE.
 
The new 2,000-sq-ft store carries more than 2,500 products that are both typical of 7-Eleven stores and special to this part of the world, said a statement.
 
Currently the store employs 18 staff, who reflect the diversity of the UAE, it said.
 
Chris Tanco, 7-Eleven executive vice president and international head, said: "We worked closely with Seven Emirates and our parent company Seven-Eleven Japan to ensure we are providing the neighborhood with the products they expect from 7-Eleven as well as fresh foods typically consumed there.
 
"Guests to this store can find 7-Eleven favorites like Slurpee and Big Gulp beverages, fresh foods and high-quality, value-priced 7-Select snacks."
 
The prepared fresh-daily foods include Arabian, Indian and Asian lunch-box meals, like chicken biryani and rice balls. Also for meal or snack times, the store carries samosas, curries and falafel wraps, hummus, Greek and tabouleh salads, said the statement.
 
Orange date muffins and Umm Ali are among the pastry and dessert selections. And 7-Eleven's iconic Slurpee drinks are already a hit with the locales, it said.
 
The store boasts a number of special features and customer conveniences, including a mini-office area with ATM, bill payment and copier machines, and delivery bicycles outside for on-demand service. 
 
Meanwhile, Seven Emirates plans to open a second 7-Eleven store in December in the high-profile Dubai Marina neighborhood. - TradeArabia News Service
