GROWING SOCIAL SPACES
Shopping malls are no more just a place to shop and go, they are emerging as hotspots for social mingling and thus are the ‘social spaces’ of tomorrow.
We operate more than 1000 stores in the region and have a presence of 42+ brands from our portfolio, here in the region. What is interesting to notice is the power of transformation and the speed with which the infrastructure and development are happening in this region. The growing social spaces or shopping malls are an investment, and it hints at building long-term bonds that give rise to steady retail relationships.”

THE CHANGING FACE OF RETAIL
Cinema is a new addition to the entertainment space of KSA, but it is fast growing and contributing significantly to the growing retail narrative of the Kingdom.
Cinema is a recent phenomenon, and it is picking up very fast. We started just 4 and half years back and within this short period, have been able to grow our presence massively to touch 60 screens. Cinema as a business has had to suffer its share of lags owing to several contributing global factors. However, the growth in KSA for cinema is phenomenal and the local cinema industry is fuelling the prospect of the theatre business. We aim to support this growth by making strategic choices of locations when it comes to expanding across the region”
“Localisation is a big factor for growth for VISION 2030 and homegrown brands have now become real destinations in KSA, achieving commercial success. However, sometimes driving homegrown brands can be difficult in a crowded market. Having said that, if homegrown brands build a strong identity, create values, and meet the brand promise they surely have the potential for success. It is important to create a strong base within the landscape and retail ecosystem of the Kingdom to be able to venture out and win in the global market. That’s the focus which we need to determine for future.”
