We have always found that taking part in DSS has a great impact on our business during the summer months. We have created an ambience that is especially appealing to the local and GCC community, and our outlets also get involved enthusiastically with offers and promotions. This year's DSMG promotion is bigger than ever, and we hope to have a number of winners among our shoppers"
