Spinneys, the largest retailer in the Middle East and North Africa, opened its newest branch, the largest and third in Achrafieh, cementing its place as the most visited supermarket chain in Beirut.
This brand new outlet is located on Achrafieh Str, in the Tilal Beirut building and accompanies the Mar Mitr and Alexander Str branches, each welcoming thousands of customers every day.
In keeping with the Spinneys' standards the 5,000sqm, three-floor supermarket will sell every variety of food produce and household appliance imaginable. Exclusive wines, rare beverages, and imported cigars will be on offer, in addition to a floor customized to serve the freshest meats, breads, fish and cheeses.
Platinum cardholders can relax in the private lounge with freshly made coffee and newspapers, while Spinneys employees take care of the bill and bag up purchased goods. Paintings by Lebanese artists adorn the walls and the Platinum members can even watch their favorite channel on a flat screen television as they wait for their shopping.

When asked about the choice of area Wright replied, "Achrafieh has always been a substantial market with a broad base of loyal customers."
