Spinneys, one of the Middle East’s leading supermarket chains, and leading pharmacy retailer Aster Pharmacy have joined forces to offer the first holistic wellness concept to Spinneys stores across the UAE.
The joint venture, which is set to launch in the fourth quarter of 2022, is a direct response to the growing consumer demand for more accessible, quality products that improve their health and well-being.
The concept will offer an exclusive range of high-quality vitamins, minerals, health supplements, specialist foods, and natural beauty products.
According to the statement, “An extension of Spinneys’ ‘Eat Well, Live Well’ philosophy, ethical sourcing will guide all merchandising, bringing to customers naturally-derived products and ingredients that are both good for them and the planet.”
