If Sainsburys comes here then maybe Ikea will be built on no-palm tree island

There's no way a European supermarket could set up just one branch in the Middle East, it would be a nightmare to keep the shelves stocked. You need a dozen shops across the Arabian Peninsula to make it worthwhile, and I can't see Sainsburys setting up that kind of operation.

Its just an investment company buying Sainsburys. I doesn't mean that there will be a branch of sainsburys here.
