Virgin Mobile recharge cards now available in all Panda, Hyper Panda and Pandati stores nationwide

Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, 03 November 2015:

Virgin Mobile has signed an agreement with Panda Retail Company to stock Virgin Mobile recharge cards in all Panda, HyperPanda and Pandati stores nationwide.

Panda has over 475 stores in a chain that covers all major centres in Saudi Arabia. These include 63 hypermarkets, 143 supermarkets and 273 Pandati shops across the Kingdom.

The distribution deal with Panda makes it even easier for Virgin Mobile members to find the recharge cards that they need, and adds to Virgin Mobile's own network of stores in the Kingdom.

"Our members rely on their phones, so wherever you are in Saudi Arabia we want to make it as easy as possible to get Virgin Mobile recharge cards," said Karim Benkirane, CEO of Virgin Mobile. "That makes Panda an important partner for Virgin Mobile, as it has popular stores throughout the country."
