TalkingRetail.com has obtained exclusive images from inside the new Waitrose store in Dubai.
The 5, 000 sq m venue is underneath the tallest building in the world, the Burj Dubai, and was designed by Kinnersley Kent. The client was Fine Fare Food Market.
Waitrose said the store mixes traditional branded products with local produce to try and offer strong alternatives for locals.
