Majid Al Futtaim Launches Grocery Retail Brand HyperMax in Oman
Dubai-based conglomerate Majid Al Futtaim Group launches HyperMax, a new grocery retail brand in Oman, creating 2,000 direct and indirect jobs while prioritizing local hiring and sourcing to serve the community.
Majid Al Futtaim Group, a prominent Dubai-based conglomerate known for its shopping malls, retail operations, and leisure companies, has announced the roll-out of its newest grocery retail brand, HyperMax, at 11 stores across Oman. This is one of the major developments for the company, as it underlines the group's intent on the Omani market: to create more jobs, to source more from local suppliers, and to pass more value back to customers.
HyperMax: A New Chapter in Omani Retail
HyperMax is not a mere rebranding but a strategic move to redefine the grocery retail scene in Oman. The brand will appeal to the new-age consumer with an array of products, competitive prices, and value-for-money offers. The HyperMax launch comes in the wake of Carrefour's withdrawal from operations in Oman, another retail brand within the Majid Al Futtaim Group.
The company has focused on utilizing its existing asset network in Oman for the new brand. "This reflects the brand proposition to make top-quality products, value-for-money offers and fresh local produce more accessible to customers across the Sultanate," the company stated.
Local Hiring and Job Creation
A cornerstone of the HyperMax initiative is its emphasis on local hiring and job creation. Majid Al Futtaim Group announced that the launch would create 2,000 direct and indirect jobs in Oman, thereby reinforcing the local economy and developing a skilled workforce.
"HyperMax will generate meaningful career opportunities for existing employees while continuously developing its talent pipeline to ensure a sustainable workforce across its businesses," the company said.
The goal of HyperMax is to increase its connection with the local community while catering to the shopping needs of the Omani market. The policy will help to realize the general vision of Oman Vision 2040, focusing on economic diversification and building the local workforce.
Improving Customer Experience
HyperMax aims to make grocery shopping a better experience. With the consumer-centric approach, the brand vows to offer a modern and friendly shopping environment with ample products from fresh local produce to cater to the demands of the Omani market.
"Our commitment is to provide top quality at competitive prices with seamless shopping for customers," the group stated.
Long-term Commitment to Oman
The launch of HyperMax is part of the broader strategy of Majid Al Futtaim Group to deepen its presence in Oman. The group has made significant investments in shopping malls, communities, retail, and leisure within the Sultanate, underscoring its long-term commitment to the market.
"Oman is a key market for Majid Al Futtaim, and we are focused on adapting to evolving market dynamics," the group said.
The Transition from Carrefour to HyperMax
Carrefour, operated by Majid Al Futtaim in Oman, stopped its operations last week. HyperMax is the new, locally sourced alternative to replace it and serve the market better. The move shows the company's ability to adapt to the changes in the market and remain on top of the retail business.
Future Expansion Plans
Majid Al Futtaim Group hinted at future growth plans for HyperMax in Oman and the wider region. The company said that it "periodically reviews and evaluates its businesses to ensure it remains agile in adapting to changing market dynamics."
The emphasis on local sourcing, competitive pricing, and community engagement puts HyperMax in a position to be a brand that will thrive in the Sultanate for the long haul.
