UK-Europe-UAE road corridor, air freight: How Spinneys rewired its food supply network

## New Supply Routes

Spinneys, a leading grocery chain in the UAE, has revamped its supply chain in response to shipping disruptions. The company established a road freight corridor connecting the UK and Europe to the UAE, bypassing the Strait of Hormuz. This move was necessary as shipping delays increased transit times and costs.

## Diversified Sourcing

To maintain product availability, Spinneys diversified its sourcing strategy. About 40% of its products are imported, while the rest are sourced locally. The company also increased air freight and rerouted sea cargo through alternative ports.

## Financial Impact

Despite the challenges, Spinneys reported a 5.1% increase in first-half revenue, reaching Dh1.909 billion. However, higher freight costs and longer transit times affected profit margins, which narrowed slightly.

## Consumer Behavior

The disruptions influenced consumer behavior, with customers opting for smaller, more frequent purchases. Spinneys maintained stable prices on key items to support shoppers.

## Expansion Plans

Spinneys continues to expand, with plans to open new stores in the UAE, Kuwait, and the Philippines. The company also increased its stake in its Saudi operations, reflecting its commitment to growth in the region.
