Jones the Grocer, Al Mamoura, Abu Dhabi
Jones the Grocer (JTG?) is an Australian based luxury products supermarket and cafe with branches in New Zealand, Singapore, and Abu Dhabi. The first Joe Grocer shoppe opened in Sydney downunder in 1996. The Abu Dhabi Jones grocery opened in September 2009 (delayed from June 2009) as the first JTG store in the Middle East. Crikey mate! They didn't open one in Dubai first?
- Jones the Grocer will appeal to "cheese lovers, food connoisseurs and coffee aficionados" according to the 03 February 2009 press release
- Abu Dhabi location in Al Mamoura
- Managing Director of Jones the Grocer in the UAE is Yunib Siddiqui. Mr Siddiqui is also the franchise holder for the Abu Dhabi Jones the Grocer, and joint venture partner for Jones Middle East, should it expand.
- Jones the Grocer Dubai might arrive in mid 2010 if plans come together (comment in Dubai Eye radio interview 29 Sep 2009)

Jones the Grocer Abu Dhabi
- Bakery and pastry selection
- Cafe - where he just smiled and gave me a vegemite sandwich ... if you're lucky.
- Cheese - a walk-in cheese room, or fromagerie. Yum!
- Charcuterie - no, we don't know what it is either but the press release (28 September 2009) said Jones had one. Reportedly a Halal charcuterie which means no pork.
- Delicatessen - with lots of gourmet goodies
- Organic food for babies and children
- Other things the press release said which we didn't understand, were artisan, piece de résistance, synonymous, nurtured, artisan (again), luscious, barista (might be where them luscious sheilas hang out, mate).
- "Decadent Christmas and special occasion hampers" - are press releases in the UAE allowed to say "decadent"?
