Retailing with "Convenience"

Dubai have been developing immensely to greater hieghts, so is its retailing industry. According to an official website UAE's retailing industry is on the way of changing the economy in the coming four to five years. Grocery retailing plays a major role in the process where the "industry growth rate"(porter) is expected to grow six to ten percent a year.

Like any other retailer, AL maya is also on the run to grab a major share in the industry by opening up convenience shops. According to the Chief executive of AL maya group Deepak pagarani ,there are greater oppurtunities for convenience shops because of the growing fuel price and traffic conditions in UAE. Lals have identified a major "market scope" (barney) and have decided to capitalise on the oppurtunity, the convenience shops will be similar to the Tesco stores in the UK. I believe maya group is "imitating" the Tesco's strategy that have made them different from other gianretailers in the UK.

AL maya will benefit from the idea of convenience shops of 3000 sq ft, they will require less capital (capital requiremnet)to establish such stores compared to huge hypermarkets which will need tens of millions of investment. I believe this change in strategy will shape a completely different "business mission" for the grocery retailing department of ALmaya.

Lovers of Islam Unite! - Pancakes for Mohammed, peace be upon Her

Keep your calendars open for Sunday, March 18th, at 11 AM for the first annual Pancakes for Mohammed, peace be upon Her, Sunday Pancake Fundraiser at Dennys. This is a great way to raise money for our Islam saving cause while eating great pancakes. And remember, “Hold the sausage please!”

For those of us who are trying to convince our Muslim brothers and sisters about the true gender of the Prophet, peace be upon Her, come out and speak up and bring a few shekels to donate. Also, be sure and bring your best drawing of the Prophet, peace be upon Her. I propose that each group vote on the best depiction of the Prophet, peace be upon Her and pay for the winning artist to eat for free.

Now remember, drawing the Prophet with a bomb on Her head has already been done, so please, choose something else.
