Director's Message
Dr Hussain Saadat
Ansar Group is the name behind the creation of a varied range of malls and retail destinations that offer quality, lifestyle products and services to its shoppers. As of today, our group encompasses over two million sq. feet of retail space; another 1.3 million sq. feet of warehousing space; 4,000+ well-trained, passionate staff; and a minimum yearly footfall of over 15 million. The core of our success lies in our consumer-driven strategy of providing affordably-priced, quality merchandies by sourcung them directly from factories of over fifteen diverse countries such as France, Brazil, Italy, Thailand, Turkey, India, etc. In this way we eliminate multiple levels of middlemen whose margins push product prices to inflated figures. Today, with an annual growth rate of 25%, our expansion plans include opening of two new shopping centers in the GCC market, every year. In our journey forward, we commit to continue bringing this exceptional retail mix of attractive prices, quality and range to our ever-growing number of centers across the region.
