Riyadh, Saudi Arabia – Spinneys, the UAE’s leading premium fresh food retailer, has marked a significant milestone with the launch of its first store in Saudi Arabia. The new outlet, located in La Strada Yard in Riyadh’s An Nuzha district, spans 43,520 square feet and represents the beginning of Spinneys’ expansion plans in the Kingdom.
The store will offer Spinneys’ signature range of high-quality, fresh products, including baked goods, meats, dairy, and pantry staples, all produced on-site. This local production capability is central to Spinneys’ commitment to freshness and quality, and aligns with Saudi Vision 2030’s goals of economic diversification and support for local content.
Sunil Kumar, CEO of Spinneys, expressed enthusiasm about the expansion, stating, “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.” Kumar highlighted the strategic timing of the entry, coinciding with Saudi Arabia’s pursuit of growth and diversification, supported by initiatives such as Vision 2030 and upcoming global events like Riyadh Expo 2030 and FIFA World Cup 2034.
The La Strada store will serve as a supply hub for future Spinneys outlets planned to open in Riyadh later this year. It will offer the same product mix and high standards that Spinneys is known for in its other locations across the UAE and Oman.
To celebrate the launch, Spinneys is hosting a Grand Opening on Monday, June 24th at 10 am, followed by an Opening Weekend Festival from Thursday, June 27th to Saturday, June 29th. The festival will feature various activities including a parade, live music, food sampling, and games with prizes.
This expansion into Saudi Arabia marks a historic moment for the UAE-born brand and reflects Spinneys’ commitment to bringing its premium, fresh food offerings to new markets in the region.
