PHILIPPINE SUPERMARKET

The Philippine Supermarket stands as a testament to the rich tapestry of cultural diversity that characterizes the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Founded in 2005, this Filipino hypermarket was established with the vision of bringing a wide range of food and non-food Filipino products to the UAE market. Through its collaborations with renowned manufacturers in the Philippines, the Philippine Supermarket aims to enchant its customers with a diverse selection of high-quality products at affordable prices, all served by an unparalleled team dedicated to customer satisfaction. Beyond being a typical supermarket, this establishment offers a myriad of Filipino services, including a bakery that crafts fresh Filipino bread daily, a mobile section, a garment section, and a cosmetic section. Philippine Supermarket has become an integral part of the Filipino community in Dubai.

The journey of the Philippine Supermarket commenced with the opening of its first branch in Al Satwa, Dubai, in 2005. The founders recognized the growing demand for Filipino goods and services in the UAE market, particularly among the Filipino expatriate community. Determined to cater to the needs of their fellow countrymen and women, they decided to expand their reach. The Philippine Supermarket Muraqqabat branch was born, strategically situated to be more accessible to Filipinos in Dubai.

What sets the Philippine Supermarket apart is its commitment to offering a diverse array of products that cater to the unique tastes and preferences of the Filipino community. From authentic Filipino delicacies to non-food items, the supermarket is a one-stop shop for all things Filipino. One of its standout features is the food court, where Filipino cuisine takes center stage. Here, customers can savor the flavors of the Philippines with dishes that evoke a sense of nostalgia and comfort. The bakery within the supermarket deserves special mention, as it produces fresh Filipino bread daily, reminiscent of the warm, comforting aromas that waft through Filipino kitchens. The mobile section, garment section, and cosmetic section further enhance the shopping experience by offering a diverse range of Filipino goods, from clothing to beauty products.

Emirates International Holdings Group, LLC, led by its visionary CEO, Mr. Abdul Razagh Mohammadi, affectionately known to the Filipino community as “Abu Nader” or “Arbab,” has played a pivotal role in the supermarket’s continued success. A true “Filipino by Heart,” Mr. Mohammadi’s commitment to serving the Filipino community goes beyond business. His genuine love and respect for Filipino culture and traditions have endeared him to the hearts of many.

Beyond being a commercial enterprise, the Philippine Supermarket has become a hub for the Filipino community in the UAE. It serves as a meeting point where Filipinos can connect, share stories, and celebrate their culture. Regular events and promotions often highlight Filipino festivities and traditions, fostering a sense of belonging among expatriates far from home.

The Philippine Supermarket is more than just a place to shop for groceries; it’s a cultural cornerstone for the Filipino community in the UAE. Its journey from a single branch in Al Satwa to its expansion into Muraqqabat and Karama reflects the enduring demand for Filipino products and services in the region. Under the leadership of Mr. Abdul Razagh Mohammadi, the Philippine Supermarket continues to thrive, offering a wide range of Filipino products, authentic flavors, and a sense of belonging to its customers. It is truly a Filipino oasis in the heart of the UAE, a place where Filipino culture, traditions, and a warm sense of community converge.
