Family Food Centre has named Zainul Abid as the first winner of a QR100,000 cash prize in its 48th anniversary Shop & Win campaign. The company said in an announcement that the draw took place on November 10, 2026 at its Al Kheesa branch where Abid’s entry was selected from thousands submitted since the promotion began. The retailer added that the win represents the opening award in a series of three identical prizes designed to celebrate its longstanding service to Qatari consumers. Campaign officials noted strong customer turnout with entries tied directly to purchase volumes across stores and digital platforms.
Under terms released by the company customers earn one e-raffle entry for every QR50 spent at participating Family Food Centre outlets or through its online channels. Each additional QR50 in a transaction generates another entry allowing larger shopping trips to multiply winning odds substantially. Family Club members receive automatic enrollment without separate receipt registration according to the retailer’s guidelines. The system has been structured to integrate seamlessly with everyday buying habits while expanding the participant base.
The promotion is accessible at the chain’s branches in Al Kheesa, Al Rayyan, Old Airport and Al Nasr as well as at Family Mart inside Doha Souq Mall. Online participation is available via the Family Qatar application and the family.qa website where shoppers can accumulate entries through home delivery orders. Family Food Centre highlighted this flexible approach as a way to accommodate varying lifestyles among its customer base in Qatar. The multi-location setup ensures broad reach across key residential and commercial districts.
Established in 1978 the supermarket group has grown into one of Qatar’s most recognised grocery chains with an emphasis on fresh produce, international brands and competitive pricing according to its corporate profile. Company history shows it has marked previous anniversaries with comparable customer reward schemes including last year’s offer of three Jetour T2 SUVs during its 47th celebration. The current QR300,000 cash total continues that tradition of direct consumer benefits tied to milestone years. Such initiatives have helped reinforce the retailer’s position in a competitive local market according to earlier announcements.
Two further draws remain scheduled for December 10, 2026 and January 10, 2027 with each set to award another QR100,000 prize to a qualifying shopper. The full campaign closes on January 9, 2027 after which no additional entries will be accepted according to the company’s timetable. Family Food Centre encouraged ongoing participation in the weeks ahead to maintain momentum toward the later selections. The cash format was chosen to provide winners with immediate flexibility in using their rewards.
Participation data shared by the retailer indicates the anniversary drive has resonated with both regular in-store visitors and those preferring digital shopping options. The promotion builds on the chain’s evolution from a single location nearly five decades ago into a multi-branch operation serving diverse neighborhoods. Family Food Centre has consistently used anniversary periods to express appreciation to its customer community through tangible incentives according to its past statements.
