French retail giant signs up for Doha Festival City

Doha Festival City has announced plans to partner with Ali Bin Ali Group to bring the first full-sized Monoprix store to Doha.

Monoprix, which has 500 stores in France, and 85 stores outside of France, sells international food, cosmetic and fashion brands and will take a 7,100 sq m store on the ground floor of mall which is scheduled to open in the third quarter of 2016.

Kareem M Shamma, CEO of mall owners BASREC, said: “This is yet another milestone for Doha Festival City and we are honoured to be featuring one of the most sought after names in French retailing.

“Monoprix’s presence comes out of a valued partnership with the Ali Bin Ali Group, which for generations has focused on bringing leading global brands into the local market.”

Upon completion, Doha Festival City Mall will be Qatar’s largest shopping mall with a gross leasable area of some 250,000 square metres.
