Alittle piece of Juventus in Arabia
Saudi Arabia becomes ‘Black and White’. Indeed on May the 1st, in the capital Riyadh, the country’s first Juventus Store, the first ever located outside of Italy, opened to the public. A real supermarket dedicated to what is one of the best loved-teams in that part of Asia too.
The owner is Prince Turki Bin Salman Bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, who has already demonstrated his love for Juventus in the recent past. Indeed he was the one who outbid everyone at the auction on the two shirts worn by Del Piero and Nedved that were launched into space.
In his home country, the Prince has done things in a grand style. Covering a 200 square metre surface, Riyadh's Juventus Store is part of a structure containing a cafe and in the future a restaurant too. Merchandise on sale ranges from Nike technical items to a vast array of gadgets and accessories.
The store has immediately had a great success in the first days since opening, as was expected, and Juventus fans residing in Saudi Arabia have been visiting it in droves.
