Spinneys has opened its 94th store at Bahar Plaza, located on the ground level of Jumeirah Beach Residence (JBR) in Dubai, marking the latest step in the retailer’s expansion across the UAE.
The opening places the Spinneys brand within one of Dubai’s most frequented residential and leisure destinations, offering residents and visitors access to the retailer’s range of fresh food and grocery products.
The store follows the company’s established format, built around fresh produce, a standard of service the brand has maintained across its network, and a shopping environment designed to reflect those values.

The opening comes at a time of continuing pressure on international trade, with freight disruption and supply chain difficulties affecting retailers globally.
Spinneys says it has been able to maintain product availability and service levels across its stores through a combination of an integrated supply chain, sourcing offices in key markets worldwide, and a portfolio of private label products that reduce exposure to external supply risks.
“The UAE has always proven its ability to adapt, recover, and thrive under pressure. Our new store opening at Bahar JBR reflects our belief in the enduring resilience of this nation and its people. We’re deeply grateful to the country’s leadership for keeping everything moving during testing times, and for creating an environment that allows businesses like ours to grow with confidence,” Sunil Kumar, CEO of Spinneys said in a statement.
The retailer says the opening reflects not only confidence in current conditions but also a commitment to the UAE’s direction on sustainable growth and innovation. The company has indicated that its expansion is consistent with the national vision for economic development, and that the JBR store represents continued investment in the country’s retail sector.
Spinneys has built its network across the UAE and wider region on the basis of relationships with suppliers across the world, a factor it says has been central to keeping shelves stocked during a period of disruption to global freight and logistics.
The Bahar Plaza store is now open to the public.
