The chain is known for serving a broad customer base, including the Gulf's large South Asian community as well as Arab and Western residents. Its product range reflects this diversity, with foods and products from many countries.
Sourcing is a significant part of Lulu's operations. The group runs sourcing and processing operations in several countries, which helps it control supply chains for fresh produce, meat and other goods.
