The world’s tallest building, the Burj Khalifa, lit up to celebrate the launch of the 200th LuLu Hypermarket. Visitors at the landmark destination and millions across the world saw the iconic Burj Khalifa projecting the familiar colors of LuLu’s logo with congratulatory messages to commemorate the occasion.
LuLu, which opened its first store in the UAE in the early 90s, recently opened its 200th store in Cairo, Egypt. With its retail footprint spanning 10 countries including the GCC, Egypt, India, Indonesia and Malaysia, LuLu Group has been a shining example of a UAE-based organization going global. Apart from retail business, LuLu also has a major interest in the sourcing and food production business with operations in the US, UK, Spain, Africa, India, Far East and China — employing in excess of 57,000 staff.
Led by chairman Yusuff Ali M.A., LuLu has been on an aggressive expansion mode even during the current challenging times, with more than 15 stores being launched in the last 12 months.
“Our sincere thanks and appreciation to the visionary rulers of this great country for allowing us to flourish and spread across the world, and to each one of our stakeholders and our loyal shoppers for helping us reach this milestone,” Ali said.
V. Nandakumar, director of marketing and communications at LuLu Group, said: “This indeed is a proud moment for all of us at LuLu to see our brand being projected on the iconic Burj Khalifa.”
It is a true testament of our sustained forward march to scale new heights in innovation and to provide our world-class shopping experience in new markets and to a greater number of people.”
