Gulf Daily News » Local News » Waitrose pulls out of Bahrain:
"HIGH-END supermarket chain Waitrose is pulling out of Bahrain just two years after opening its first store in the country, the company's regional partner has confirmed.
Poor sales were cited as the reason for the decision, which has left two outlets at The Lagoon in Amwaj Islands and The Walk in Riffa already closed.
"Despite strong customer loyalty to the brand, the sales required for sustainable business were not achieved," said communications manager Colette Shannon from Supa Save Bahrain, which runs Bahrain's Waitrose shops under franchise.
"As such, Supa Save Bahrain has made their decision to exit the market and is in discussion with several interested parties to take over the stores."
