The Makkah region holds a special place in our history, where we opened our very first store and bringing the Danube brand to the city is a meaningful achievement for us that we are especially proud of. We are committed to reaching more customers with both our brands and their unique grocery shopping experiences. With more demand for supermarket variety and variety of foods from local residents and from pilgrims, we are delighted the residents and visitors to Makkah can now experience the Danube quality shopping experience.
