Carrefour has launched a mobile grocery bus called Mobimart to cater to underserviced neighbourhoods across Dubai.

The bus will operate six days a week, and customers will need to check Carrefour’s website for the daily bus routes and scheduled stops.

The list of neighbourhoods where the bus will make stops at: Javza – South Gate, Akoya – Juniper Cluster, Claret Cluster and Amazonia Cluster, Rahaba Kite Beach, Meydan – near Emirates Pilots Village, Jumeirah Village Circle, Jumeirah Village Triangle, Jumeirah Islands, and Sports City – Victory Heights.

The Mobimart bus was designed by Al Quoz-based startup Bespoke Trailers.

“Carrefour Mobimart represents Majid Al Futtaim’s commitment to provide innovative, and seamless customer experiences to our shoppers, as we bring Carrefour to their doorsteps,” said Phillippe Peguilhan, Country Manager of Carrefour UAE.
