Waitrose, the food shops of the John Lewis Partnership, is to open a 26,000 sq ft store in the AKOYA by DAMAC Retail Centre. Set within the 42 million sq ft golf and lifestyle community in Dubai, Waitrose will be the anchor tenant of the precinct which will include high-end shopping outlets, a pharmacy and restaurants.
The shop will be the eighth Waitrose to open in the UAE under a licence through the retailer’s partnership with Fine Fare Food Market (FFFM).
AKOYA by DAMAC, which is set around the Trump International Golf Club, Dubai, was recently named the ‘Best Golf Development in the World’, by the International Property Awards. The development includes 4.3 million sq ft of private parkland, with luxury branded villas by FENDI, Paramount and Trump providing a new level of luxury living.
The AKOYA by DAMAC Retail Centre will cover a total of 94,500 sq ft with upscale casual dining options, cafes, a pharmacy, travel agency, dry cleaners, opticians and a host of fashion stores. Construction at the site is already well underway, with the first handover of units scheduled for completion by the end of 2015.
There are more than 280 Waitrose branches in the UK and seven currently in the UAE dedicated to offering quality, value and customer service.
