Dubai’s fast-paced lifestyle demands innovative solutions to meet the needs of its residents. Majid Al Futtaim Retail, the exclusive operator of Carrefour in the UAE, has taken a groundbreaking step with the launch of Carrefour’s 24/7 express grocery delivery service. This service is set to redefine convenience by offering an unparalleled online product selection, competitive pricing, and extensive delivery coverage across Dubai.
Dubai’s Unique Shopping Habits Drive Demand for 24/7 Delivery
As a vibrant metropolis, Dubai operates around the clock, with late-night and early-morning shopping becoming the norm. Recent data reveals that over 65% of orders are placed between 10:00 PM to 12:00 AM and 6:00 AM to 8:00 AM. This trend underscores the necessity for grocery services that cater to non-traditional shopping hours. Carrefour’s 24/7 express delivery is designed to align perfectly with these shopping patterns, ensuring seamless access to essentials at any hour.
Unmatched Product Variety and Affordable Prices
One of the hallmarks of Carrefour’s new service is its vast product selection. Customers can choose from over 10,000 products, covering categories like:
- Fresh Produce: Fruits, vegetables, and more delivered with utmost freshness.
- Baby Products: Diapers, formula, and essentials for your little ones.
- Pet Supplies: Food, grooming items, and accessories.
- Personal Care: A wide range of skincare, haircare, and hygiene products.
- Household Essentials: Cleaning supplies, kitchenware, and much more.
Unlike other services, Carrefour ensures that nighttime orders are priced the same as daytime, maintaining its promise of affordability without any additional charges.
Strategic Delivery Zones: Serving Key Areas Across Dubai
The pilot phase of the service began with a hub at Carrefour’s Dubai Marina store, catering to areas like Palm Jumeirah, JBR, JVC, Al Barsha, and Emirates Hills. Following its success, the service has expanded to Central Dubai, including:
- Downtown Dubai
- Business Bay
- Financial Center
- Al Jaddaf
- Deira
Plans are already underway to extend coverage to other prominent areas such as Mirdif, Arabian Ranches, Damac Hills, and Nad Al Sheba, ensuring more residents benefit from this revolutionary service.
