Dubai, 19 January 2020: Since opening to great fanfare just a month ago, Al-Futtaim’s Festival Plaza has added a further 18 stores to its offering, kicking off the year as it means to go on. This means that the GLA now stands at 485,536 sq ft. 

 

The 18 new stores cover a range of offerings from food, beauty, accessories and home and leisure and will further strengthen the mall’s existing -strong retail collection of Home, F&B and conveniences. Additional dining options including world’s first IKEA Café, Sultan Baba Iskendar, Peppermill, Famous Daves, Sapori, Popeye’s, M&S Café KFC, Pizza Hut and Sumo Sushi join the existing 15 dining options. 

 

“Just one month ago as we opened Festival Plaza, we reinforced our commitment to providing our customers with the best in class experiences and celebrations from shopping, entertainment and dining. With the addition of these new offerings and F&B options we are delivering on this, combining spectacular experience and convenient services to meet the everyday needs of our customers. We are excited to continue to work with the best local and international retailers to bring them to Festival Plaza,” said Timothy Earnest, Group Director of Al-Futtaim Malls.

 

The announcement of the new stores comes just one month after the 64,800 square metres shopping centre opened its doors in the presence of Mr Omar Al Futtaim, Vice Chairman of Al-Futtaim Group, Timothy Earnest, Group Director of Al-Futtaim Malls, and Al-Futtaim employees, mall staff and community members.
