Choithrams, a well-known supermarket chain in the UAE, has recently introduced paid parking at select stores in Dubai. This development is part of a partnership with Parkonic, a smart parking management system aimed at enhancing convenience and efficiency.
Key Details of the Paid Parking Rollout
- The pilot program is active at three locations: DEC Marina, JVC Manhattan, and Dubai Silicon Oasis.
- The complete roll-out is expected by mid-April 2026.
- This is the first time Choithrams has introduced paid parking in the UAE.
What This Means for Shoppers
Shoppers visiting these Choithrams stores will now need to pay for parking their vehicles. This change is intended to:
- Better manage the limited parking spaces available at busy locations.
- Enhance the overall shopping experience by reducing congestion.
- Provide a convenient payment method through Parkonic’s smartphone system.
Parkonic’s app-based system allows customers to pay quickly using their smartphones, streamlining the parking process. This initiative could particularly affect shoppers who typically make brief visits, requiring them to plan their trips accordingly.
Overall, this move reflects a broader trend of supermarket chains embracing new technology to efficiently manage parking in crowded areas.
