“The Tanour is present in central markets, forming a qualitative addition to the integrated service system that cooperative societies aim to provide to their shareholders and residents. This initiative enhances shopping convenience and meets daily needs under one roof, saving consumers time and effort, amid efforts to generalize this model across various cooperative societies. In this context, Dr. Amthal Al-Huwailan, Minister of Social Affairs, Family, and Childhood, emphasized the importance of developing central markets and strengthening the concept of integrated services, which contributes to improving the quality of services provided to consumers and saving them time and effort. She announced the direction toward generalizing the experience of providing bakeries, the Tanour, and pharmacies within central markets in cooperative societies.
This statement came during a field visit by Al-Huwailan to the new headquarters of the Al-Roudha and Hawalli Cooperative Society, to review the progress of operations and the level of services provided to shareholders and local residents, and to examine the society’s initiative of consolidating several essential services under one roof. During the visit, the minister observed the experience of providing bakeries, the Tanour, and a pharmacy within the central market, enabling consumers to easily obtain their daily necessities and enhancing the efficiency of services offered within central markets.
Al-Huwailan praised the Al-Roudha and Hawalli Cooperative Society’s initiative, which, according to the visit’s statement, is the first of its kind in providing bread and the Tanour within a central market. She stressed the importance of leveraging this experience and working to generalize it to other cooperative societies in the coming period. The minister also reaffirmed her continued field follow-up of cooperative societies’ activities, aiming to support performance development, improve service levels, and strengthen the role of central markets in meeting consumers’ needs, within the broader direction of delivering more integrated and efficient services to shareholders and residents.”
