  • The 'Yesh Chesed' supermarket chain will open a new branch in Arad's RD commercial center next month.
  • The expansion is part of a revitalization effort led by two young entrepreneurs at the commercial complex.
  • The move is influenced by a significant increase in Haredi families residing in Arad.
  • The new supermarket is expected to boost the commercial center's appeal and local shopping options.
  • The RD complex is also adding fashion stores and health services, including a new Meuhedet clinic.

The city of Arad is set to receive a significant consumer upgrade with the upcoming opening of a new branch of the 'Yesh Chesed' supermarket chain. The new store will be located in the RD commercial center, known locally as the 'Arad Mall,' which is currently undergoing a revitalization led by two young entrepreneurs. The chain's CEO, Ran Aharoni, visited the site with a professional team, including specialists in planning, branding, and store construction, to prepare for the launch, which is slated for next month.

This development is part of a broader transformation of the established commercial center into a renewed hub for shopping and services. The complex is attracting national retail chains, fashion stores, and children's clothing outlets, alongside health and banking services, including a new branch of the 'Meuhedet' health fund. This business momentum is linked to a significant demographic shift in Arad over recent years, marked by a substantial increase in the number of Haredi families residing in the city.

The growing Haredi population has brought increased purchasing power and a rising demand for shopping centers and services tailored to family needs. This trend has captured the attention of more national retail chains interested in the city's commercial potential. The arrival of 'Yesh Chesed' is expected to further enhance the complex's appeal, expand shopping options for residents of Arad and surrounding areas, and reduce the need to travel to other cities for routine purchases.

The two young entrepreneurs behind the RD complex's renewal appear to have more plans in store. With ongoing initiatives and the imminent addition of 'Yesh Chesed,' the commercial center is solidifying its position as a key shopping and service destination in Arad, with further developments anticipated.
