AZADEA and URBN Develop Partnership to bring more brands to the UAE

Anthropologie lands in the GCC with first store opening in Dubai Mall Dubai, United Arab Emirates – AZADEA, a leading lifestyle retail company, in partnership with URBN, strengthens its presence in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) with the opening of Anthropologie in Dubai Mall, a new concept store that offers the latest in fashion, accessories, home items, and beauty products. Anthropologie’s first branch in the GCC focuses on sparking inspiration and innovation. The store concept is a form of self-expression as it encourages creativity and diversity through colors and nature-elements. The new store embodies the concept where “the sky meets the sea” through the items design as well as the store décor and theme. With 50% of the products being designed in-house, all items are unique and exclusive to Anthropologie GCC customers with weekly new arrivals and online shopping options. Mr. Salim Fakhouri, President of Fashion and Accessories of AZADEA , looks forward to this new chapter as he states, “Our partnership with URBN aligns with our continuous commitment to bringing diverse and exciting new concepts and brands to our customers across the region. The opening of Anthropologie and Urban Outfitters in the GCC strengthens our ties with URBN and contributes to further future collaborations as we aim to increase accessibility to various styles for our customers.” Anthropologie opened its doors in Dubai Mall on May 28 just as Urban Outfitters was launching in Yas Mall, Abu Dhabi. The successful launch of these sister brands is expected to pave the way for more store openings in the region in the near future. URBN’s International COO, Michael Marth stated, “We are excited to be continuing and expanding our relationship with Azadea as we see great customer demand and huge potential to grow further in UAE. We firmly believe this strategic partnership will help to grow the URBN brands within the UAE and in turn expand the store portfolio and opportunities for both Anthropologie and Urban Outfitters.” In parallel to the launch of the stores, AZADEA’s online platform, www.azadea.com, already features Urban Outfitters online store as well as over 54 other brands. Anthropologie is expected to join the online channel end of June. AZADEA.com will soon be available in Kuwait and Qatar as well by the end of 2021.

Upcoming Opening at Dubai Mall

Saudi’s famous ALBAIK is coming to UAE with the launch of first branch in Dubai Mall

DUBAI: ALBAIK, one of Saudi Arabia’s favorite homegrown brands, is coming to Dubai. The popular restaurant chain will open a new branch in Dubai Mall, which will bring ALBAIK’s range of dishes to Emiratis for the first time. ALBAIK was established in Jeddah in 1974 and has grown to more than 120 branches throughout Saudi Arabia and Bahrain. It has been listed by CNN as one of the best eight fast-food chains around the world. ALBAIK has developed a community of fanatics across Saudi Arabia, driving the brand’s popularity. ALBAIK recently opened the world’s first eight-lane drive through with its food trucks in the Saudi city of Tabuk that attracted a queue of cars stretching more than four kilometers. Following the opening of three branches in Bahrain at the end of 2020, ALBAIK was encouraged to open in Dubai. The new 355-square-meter restaurant will serve a wide array of chicken and seafood, grilled dishes, and vegetarian options. The beloved Saudi homegrown brand is entering the UAE market in collaboration with ServQuest, a company formed and established by National Holding, Abu Dhabi, dedicated to operating and expanding ALBAIK across the seven emirates led by an expert team managing several successful restaurant brands in the country. “ALBAIK has earned its place as Saudi Arabia’s most popular restaurant thanks to the hard work and dedication of its well-trained team members, who strive to deliver food of exceptional quality and 100 percent Customer Love at all times,” said Yazan Malhis, general manager of ALBAIK Food Systems — UAE. “Our recent launch in Bahrain proved extraordinarily successful despite the current challenges, and we are delighted to further extend our reach with ALBAIK’s first branch in the UAE. We look forward to a fruitful relationship with ServQuest and will continue to seek out fresh opportunities to serve our loyal customers, wherever they need us to be.” Karim Hajjali, CEO of ServQuest, said: “Many visitors to Saudi Arabia return with fond memories of ALBAIK. Likewise, Saudis and former residents in the Kingdom living overseas will often find themselves craving for ALBAIK dishes. We are proud to partner with this much-loved brand on its long-awaited arrival to the UAE and are delighted to introduce diners in Dubai to the unmistakable taste of one of the Kingdom’s unmissable culinary treats.” In 2019, ALBAIK secured first place at YouGov’s annual brand health rankings titled “Top 10 KSA.” It also topped a list of Saudi Arabia’s “Simplest Brands” in a report by Siegle + Gale. The restaurant chain also holds the record for serving the largest number of meals during a single day at one of its branches during Hajj.

DUBAI, U.A.E, May 9, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The pioneering lifestyle retail brand Azadea.com has proudly announced yet another exciting first for the Middle East e-commerce scene through an exclusive digital partnership with international brand, Urban Outfitters. The alliance has led to Azadea.com becoming the first of its kind to launch the multinational lifestyle retail brand online across the MENA region and comes following the spiralling success of the only Urban Outfitters retail store to open in the UAE. Azadea Group first published its partnership with Urban Outfitters back in 2018 where it revealed its involvement in managing the brand's expansion. Due to the drastic global shift towards digitalization and fast-growing online demands, Azadea Group warmly welcomes Urban Outfitters to a new partnership that aims to connect consumers both online and offline. Urban Outfitters, which currently operates in over 15 countries worldwide, has joined Azadea Group's mission to adapt to the digital global landscape and the much-anticipated concepts emerging throughout the Middle East. Boasting a flourishing portfolio of lifestyle retailers, Azadea Group has consistently demonstrated its success in representing an ever-increasing number of iconic global brands throughout the Middle East and Africa over the past 40 years. Operating more than 40 leading franchise concepts across MENA, Azadea.com is mostly known for its repertoire of big name clients and exceptional management of experiential brand concepts. Azadea.com already collaborates with a multitude of well-known brands such as Mango, Reserved, Missguided, Boggi Milano, Adidas, Bershka, Decathlon, Virgin Megastore and many more. Their latest contract with Urban Outfitters Inc. reflects the fresh global vision towards developing high-end online shopping experiences. Urban Outfitters started its mission in 1970 where it began selling an extensive range of apparel, homeware and accessories that remain, to this day, one-of-a-kind. The international lifestyle company operates a number of world-class brands that include Urban Outfitters, Anthropologie, BHLDN, Free People and Terrain and offers a combination of product, creativity and cultural understanding. Selling an array of hand-picked pieces and vintage styles, and by collaborating with third-party brands to curate collections of unique merchandise, Urban Outfitters has developed a dominant brand identity that continues to thrive globally. The recent alliance between Azadea.com and Urban Outfitters is introduced at a significant time where focus on e-commerce opportunities in the Middle East is at its most impressionable. Azadea.com firmly believes that the strategic venture introducing Urban Outfitters to the Middle East e-commerce industry is a well-timed move that resonates clearly with the market and provides space for substantial growth and success.

Jump N Fun

Opening at Dubai Mall

New trampoline park now open at The Dubai Mall

Starting to make plans to keep the kids entertained inside as the temperature in Dubai starts to hit the levels of scorchio that make it difficult for them to burn off energy outside? A brand-new trampoline park has just opened at The Dubai Mall. Jump N Fun, which you'll find at the shopping mall's popular VR Park, is aimed at kiddos seven and over. The enormous, colourful inflatable playground offers all the usual jumping fun that little ones enjoy including a climbing wall where mini Spidermen and women can test their skills safely. In addition there is a cool foam pit for little daredevils to launch themselves into as well as a huge range of various shapes and sizes of trampolines for a sport of freestyle bouncing. The trampoline park comes hot on the heels of the opening of a new soft play area for tiny tots at the virtual reality park. The new colourful play area has plenty to keep children entertained including a variety of fun tunnels to crawl through, a cargo net that they can attempt to climb across as they release their inner Spiderman and a balance beam that runs across the upper level for mini daredevils. You can find out more about that here. Time to burn some energy kiddos!

Starbucks

Renovation / Refurbishment at Dubai Mall

I am pleased to share one of our latest Starbucks stores in partnership with Alshaya Group, set within the newly renovated precinct of Grove Village, in The Dubai Mall. In the largest mall in the world by total land area, competition in this retail environment is fierce. The stores glossy caramel entrance portal captures customer attention and leads them through the store, where sweeping organic curves evoke memories of our skilled baristas latte art and reference the contoured landscapes where our coffee trees grow. Sustainability principles have been explored using felt made from recycled plastic water bottles as a core element. Lining the curves in the ceiling, it creates an acoustic baffle for this large, cavernous space. For the flooring we have repurposed marble offcuts from other Starbucks stores built in the local area, reducing our construction waste. We hope to create a calm and oasis like third place environment for our customers in an otherwise loud and busy part of the mall. Thank you to the whole team for superbly executing an intricate design under such challenging site conditions. Photography courtesy of Alshaya Group.
