The Dubai Mall has added 100 new stores in less than a month since its opening on November 4th, offering an exciting retail choice for visitors. Retailers are opening their stores daily and the majority of The Dubai Mall's 1,200 stores will be operational by early 2009 including Galeries Lafayette, one of the mall's two key department stores. Bloomingdale's, the other key department store will open in 2010.
Mr Yousif Al Ali, General Manager of The Dubai Mall, said: 'The opening of The Dubai Mall has energized the retail sector in the region with strong sales recorded throughout the mall. In less than a month, about 100 retailers have opened their stores, several of them flagship stores for the region. The continual opening of new stores on a daily basis gives mall visitors a wider choice to complement the upcoming festive season sales.'
