Karim Benkirane, CEO of Virgin Mobile Saudi Arabia, and Nasser Al-Agil, COO of Jarir Bookstores, have signed a strategic relationship under which Virgin Mobile booths will be set up at Jarir Bookstores across Saudi Arabia. 

The Virgin Mobile booths at the popular retail chain will stock Virgin Mobile prepaid and postpaid packages and customers will be able to redeem or buy their preferred mobile numbers. That will bring a new level of convenience for Virgin Mobile members.

The booths will initially be located in 27 Jarir Bookstores across the Kingdom covering major centres nationwide. These include Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam, Khobar, Makkah, Madina, Yanbu, Abha, Khamis Mushait, Jazan, Jubail, and Dhahran.

Virgin Mobile already has its own chain of many Virgin Mobile retail stores. Virgin Mobile recharges are also available in Panda, Carrefour, Othaim, Lulu, Sahel Mart, MEED and Sasco. 

“Jarir Bookstores is a much-loved chain so we are very pleased that Virgin Mobile will now have booths in so many of their stores,” said Mr Benkirane. “This gives our members even more places to buy Virgin Mobile SIMs quickly and conveniently.”
