Spinneys renews support for startups at Souk Al Bayt.

Spinneys participated in the "3a tari2 el Gemmayzeh" festival organized by "In Action Events", through "Souk Al Bayt", which supports small businesses, where it gave thirty creative men and women the opportunity to display and market their local products for free.

Based on Spinneys' belief that the people of Beirut have in their genes the love of life, and in line with its goals of continuous support to the community, this year's support focused on handicrafts, as well as household products, and on cosmetics as well. What is remarkable this year is the youth participation, which gave the festival vital value.

On the occasion, the Chief Marketing Officer of Spinneys, Ralph el Kahi, said: "Three years ago, we started this project with confidence in the potential of the people of our country and their great capabilities to turn crises into opportunities," noting that Spinneys encourages "young groups to market their products and expand in the markets, in addition to its continuous support for the national industries that we are proud of, which are no less than those imported in terms of quality."

He added: "Spinneys' main goal is to encourage creators to achieve their dreams and continue investing no matter what the circumstances, because there is no reason that hinders human progress if he wants to, and we are here to stand by these groups specifically, because with teamwork and solidarity we achieve the impossible and overcome difficulties."

The festival, which was held on May 21 from eight in the morning until ten in the evening, was an occasion for visitors to enter for free and discover a large number of food products and innovative industries and buy them at special prices in order to encourage their owners to continue in an atmosphere of entertainment and fun for adults and children. It also provided the opportunity for small professionals to market their products after a long period of recession due to the spread of the Covid virus, economic decline, and the August 4th bombing, which made the capital's residents lose hope of survival or progress. Therefore, the idea of this year's festival revolved around supporting the local economy in the first place and providing new competitive products to consumers to support the local industry and move the vital sector wheel.

Spinneys supports local industries by providing financial, logistical and marketing support to local designers and creators, and providing opportunities to develop their projects and achieve their goals.
