Home Centre, the largest home retailer in the Middle East, unveiled the All New Home Centre store at Mall of the Emirates (MOE), Dubai with a gala event held on Thursday, 8 December 2016 in the Central Atrium, MOE drawing the participation of customers.
The evening was graced with the presence of Arab icon Nancy Ajram, joined by Médéric Payne – Home Centre CEO, Renuka Jagtiani – Vice Chairperson, Landmark Group, Aarti Jagtiani, Group Director – Landmark Group, Home Centre sponsor Ibrahim Askar and other dignitaries.
Radio jockeys Heba, Rafaat and Wael welcomed visitors with a host of entertaining activities and games. The highlight of the evening was Nancy Ajram’s live performance who held the audience spell-bound with her scintillating rendition of popular Arabic numbers including Ma tegui hena, Mashi Haddi and Ah w nos.
“I have always enjoyed performing in Dubai. It is a welcoming city with a wonderful and appreciative audience. Today’s performance is special to me because it also marks the beginning of the all new Home Centre experience, which I am pleased to associated with, both as a performing artist and as a home owner who is particular about her choices,” said Ajram.
The evening also saw four lucky fans win an opportunity to meet-and-greet Nancy. The live performance was followed by the grand unveil of the store, and a cake-cutting ceremony held in the Home Centre store.
