Dubai: No fruit commands more respect than mangoes. They are called the King of fruits and that perhaps explains why the Pakistan Supermarket in Dubai is giving them treatment that befits a king.
This year the popular store is delivering the much loved deli-
cacy to your doorstep in a Lamborghini. “The king should travel like a king,” reasons Pakistan Supermarket’s managing director Mohammad Jehanzeb.
He not only deliv- ers the order him- self but also takes the cus- tomers for a short joy ride in the Dh1.2 million supercar. A mini- mum order of Dh100 is required
to avail the offer, but Jahenzeb said he’s not doing this for money.
“The idea is to put a smile on people’s faces and make them feel special,” said the 27-year-old who rolled out his ‘Mangoes in Lamborghini’ campaign on the supermarket’s Facebook page last Thursday.
Since its launch,
dozens of Dubai residents have availed the offer. Videos and pic- tures of them tak- ing the delivery have gone viral on social media.
“The response has been over- whelming. We have been besieged with orders. People in the neighbour- hood stare in dis- belief when I pull up outside a home with fresh mangoes and
then take recipi- ents for a spin,” said Jehanzeb. “The joy ride was essentially meant for kids who have been sequestered at homes because of the coronavirus but adults are equally thrilled at the the prospect of get- ting behind the wheels of my Lamborghini Huracán. I am happy to oblige them too,” said Jehanzeb. “Each order takes about an hour. We do about 7-8 home deliveries a day but are hoping to ramp up the num- bers to 12,” he added.
Barsha South resident Musfir Khawaja said he found the Lamborghini offer too good to be true when he stumbled upon it on Facebook. “I called the super- market and placed an order of ‘Chaunsa man- goes’ as I am a big fan of them. The price was reasonable and
the mangoes turned out to be very succulent,” said the Pakistani expat.
Indian expat Arshad Khan who ordered Sindhri and Anwar Ratol varieties said his children rushed out to take the delivery when they heard the unmistakable roar of the Lamborghni out- side their Falcon City villa.
“For someone who hails from Lucknow -- the land of the famous dussheri and landga man- goes--Iwasabit skeptical about the taste of Pakistani man- goes. I ordered them for the sheer experience of seeing them come to my place in a luxury super- car. It was quite exhilirating and I must confess that the mangoes were as delicious as the ones back home,” said Khan.
