The new branch, spread over an area of 50,000 sq. ft, was inaugurated by the Chairman of Union Coop Majid Hamad Rahma Al Shamsi with Khalid Humaid Bin Diban Al Falasi, CEO of Union Coop. 

Al Shamsi said the opening of the latest branch was on schedule, which is a significant achievement considering the COVID-19 pandemic.
