JUBAIL — Al-Hilal Mobily opened a second shop, this time in Al-Khobar Saturday, amidst a lot of jubilation and jostling, bordering chaos.
Many people tried to force their way into the shop which saw the security men reduced to silent spectators. All this rumpus threw the inauguration program in disarray. In presence for the opening were: Faisal Al-Shehail, honorary member of Al-Hilal; Ahmad Khamees, Secretary General of the club; Hamoud Al-Ghubaini, Mobily Executive Director for Public Relations and Information, and Abdullah Al-Hazza’, Chairman of Al-Qadisiya.
The 500-square-meter shop has a design similar to the shop in Riyadh. It showcases nearly 500 products — for men, women and children — including clothes, accessories and perfumes, among other items.
Al-Ghubaini said Mobily’s relation with Al-Hilal is trouble-free and they will comply with the contract between them. He added: “We in fact plan to enter into a wider contract in the near future. We’re following the world model in sponsoring one partner.”
He also confirmed that they have plans to open a shop in Jeddah. Faisal Al-Shehail, honorary member of the club, also expressed his joy over the inauguration of the shop in Khobar. He said they will not limit themselves to displaying sports items alone, but will try to cover a wider range of items through the establishment of factories.
