- Flexibility: The ability to capitalize on Arafa Holding’s fully-integrated business model and to respond proactively to changing trends in fashion
- Accessibility: Concrete is accessible to a large customer base via an extensive branch network, with 47 outlets located in all prime shopping malls and districts across Egypt
