“Bloom Market is one of Dubai Municipality’s flagship projects, which aims to provide access to fresh produce straight from the source, especially since the market will feature exclusively imported fruits not found in other markets, in order to differentiate itself To be established as an exclusive shopping hub. said Mohammed Faridooni, director of markets at Dubai Municipality.
In addition to imported items, it will also bring fresh produce from local farms to consumers.
“This market will complement the existing fruit and vegetable market,” he added. “It will not compete with the existing market and vendors. The uniqueness of this marketplace is that it will serve both business-to-consumer and business-to-business customers.”
He further added that the prices in the market are extremely competitive as compared to retail locations. “When you come here, unlike retail supermarkets you get better rates because you are buying directly from the source,” he said. “The price will be more competitive.”
He also said that the prices of Bloom Bazaar will be comparable to the outdoor market of Al Aweer. “We have asked traders to keep their prices at par with the outside market to attract more customers,” he added.
