The Dubai Mall will host the first Bloomingdale's store in the Middle East. The leading American department outlet will be managed and operated by Al Tayer Insignia, a company of the UAE-based Al Tayer Group.
The 146,000 sqft Bloomingdale's outlet will be a veritable showcase of the finest 'Bloomie's' products for the entire family. Additionally, there will be a home store of about 54,000 sqft. Since 1872, Bloomingdale's has pioneered the evolution of department stores by launching new designers, boutique stores and the now-famous designer shopping bags. Bloomingdale's at The Dubai Mall will continue in the same tradition of innovative retailing in the emirate, too.
Bloomingdale's will join Galeries Lafayette, the French retailer, which will also open its first regional outlet at The Dubai Mall. Jim Badour, CEO of Emaar Malls Group, said: "The opening of Bloomingdale's here marks the beginning of a new retail culture for the region, and positions Dubai as the ultimate retail destination in the region."
