He added that the website is currently available in English and will soon be available in Arabic, too, making it easy to shop for the different nationalities residing in the UAE.

“Online shopping has many conveniences, as a person can go online whenever and wherever it suits them, allowing them to get extra information, compare prices, and other positive points,” Al Bastaki said, adding that Union Coop intends to add food and non-food products in the future, allowing shoppers to pick their favourite items online.
