Spinneys, the UAE’s leading premium fresh food retailer, has announced the launch of its first-ever store in Riyadh, as part of a wide expansion plan throughout the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Its first store in Saudi Arabia is located in La Strada Yard in the popular An Nuzha district of Riyadh, spanning a retail space of 43,520 square feet. The store brings its unique, high-quality, fresh offerings to the Saudi market, including an extensive selection of baked goods, fresh meats, dairy, and pantry staples. All of these are produced on-site, with in-house production capability critical to Spinneys’ commitment to the freshness and quality that the retailer is highly reputed for in the UAE and Oman.
Establishing local production capabilities is integral to Spinneys’ fresh food proposition. The La Strada store will supply all its Riyadh stores set to open later this year. This underscores Spinneys’ commitment to enhancing environmental and social practices, well aligned with Saudi Vision 2030 and KSA’s drive to diversify the economy, support local content, and create innovative growth opportunities.
Spinneys exists to play an active role in inspiring its communities to eat and live well. Known for its premium and nourishing products, Spinneys offers a wide range of fresh foods including halal-certified meat, seafood, baked goods, deli items, flowers, and imported and locally sourced goods. Its private-label brand, SpinneysFOOD, focuses on high-quality, fresh, and nutrient-rich products, providing healthy alternatives that cater to all tastes and preferences in the Middle East.
Sunil Kumar, CEO of Spinneys, said: “We are delighted to launch our unique premium offering in Saudi Arabia, a rapidly growing market with a diverse consumer base and a keen appetite for fresh, high-quality products. Our entry into Saudi Arabia, a historic moment for a homegrown UAE brand, is driven by strong demand and positive market fundamentals and comes at a time when the Kingdom continues to pursue growth and diversification, supported by ambitious government initiatives including Vision 2030 and upcoming global events such as Riyadh Expo 2030 and the FIFA World Cup 2034.”
