According to the Hijri calendar published by the Dubai Islamic Affairs and Charitable Activities Department (IACAD), Ramadan will commence on Tuesday, March 12, 2024. It is expected that the Eid Al Fitr will be marked on April 10, 2024.
Starting from March 8, the government-backed retailer will also allow shoppers to use Nol card, AliPay and WeChat for their purchases at the hypermarkets.
While commenting on the price increase, he said prices have been capped in order to help consumers in the country. He expects that grocery prices will remain stable in 2024 due to sourcing more products from the local markets as well as capping prices of 2,000 products.
The hypermarket is also exploring opening more outlets in new Dubai areas to meet the growing demand as well as new foreign markets to source more items.
The company currently earns 8 to 10 per cent of its business from e-commerce platforms and Al Hashemi aims to increase this percentage.
