The store openings mark the fourth store to open in Abu Dhabi and first mall store location in the emirate, as well as seventh store to open in Saudi Arabia.
Located on the ground floor at mega shopping destination Reem Mall which sits on the picturesque Al Reem Island, the 174sqm Sedar Reem Mall store opened doors in September 2023 following on from the Sedar Al Malqa store, occupying 130sqm in the abundant northern neighbourhood of Riyadh.

Following the new look and feel that has already been rolled out revitalising over 10 existing Sedar stores since 2022, both new locations take on a more friendly and approachable visual identity for consumers. Aiming to reach a wider, international millennial and Gen Z audience, the spaces take on a look Inspired by Sedar Global’s highly successful brand campaign ‘Your Space Your Art’, store interiors are brightened with bold colours and include new technology to create interactive design spaces enhancing consumer engagement.
Nahel Selo Creative Director at Sedar Global says “we are delighted to be able to expand our store locations for both KSA and the UAE shoppers, and have done so in an effort to better meet the growing need and demands of our customers. Al Malqa Riyadh in particular has witnessed a surge in population numbers in recent years due to the neighbourhood’s sophistication, services and real estate offerings so was a natural next store location opening for the Saudi market. Similarly, our recent expansion into mall store locations for Dubai customers since 2022 has been received with great success and we were keen to offer a similar shopping option and roll out our first mall location for our Abu Dhabi based consumers”.
