Zoom announces plans to open five new stores on the new metro line serving Expo 2020 Dubai

Zoom, UAE’s home-grown convenience store chain, has announced plans to open five new stores on Dubai’s new Metro Route 2020 Line.

The outlets will serve the needs of commuters and visitors on the new extension line which connects Jebel Ali Metro Station to the Expo 2020 Dubai site.

The new Zoom stores are located in Jebel Ali Station (formerly Nakheel Harbour and Tower), Discovery Gardens Station, Al Furjan Station, Dubai Investment Park Station, and Expo 2020 Station.

Saif Humaid Al Falasi, Group CEO, ENOC, said: “We are committed to support and build the infrastructure of the country to welcome millions of people from across the world to the greatest show ever.

“Our long-term growth strategy for the expansion of Zoom is to continue to serve existing and upcoming communities. We have had long-standing partnership with Dubai Metro and the expansion of our network with these new sites is a testament of our continued support to the overall Dubai 2040 plan.”

Zoom first launched in Dubai Metro stations in 2009. Since its launch, the network has expanded to 45 stores with the five new stores bringing the number to 50.

Zoom has a variety of formats from service station C-stores to mini marts and stores on the Metro network as well as large scale standalone supermarkets in a number of residential communities and high-end locations, such as Burj Khalifa, Burj Gate, and Burj Al Salam.
