Disney Store in the UAE
John Hadden, Alshaya Group CEO, said: “We are very proud to be bringing the first standalone Disney Stores to the UAE, with both Abu Dhabi and the flagship store in Dubai opening just before Eid al-Fitr.
“We are sure that Disney fans from across the Emirates, and visitors too, are excited to experience everything Disney has to offer; and stay tuned for some exclusive opening events during March and April”.
Sara Grewal, Vice President, Retail APAC at The Walt Disney Company, said: “We’re beyond thrilled that Alshaya is bringing not one, but two Disney Stores to the UAE for the first time.
“These world-class stores will bring guests so much more than a retail opportunity. It truly is a Disney experience, and a magical one.
“Fans can connect with their favourite Disney stories and characters in person and create new memories that will last a lifetime. We are grateful to be able to share this with our fans in the UAE and cannot wait to welcome everyone to the new Abu Dhabi and Dubai stores.”
The Disney Store in Abu Dhabi will open its doors on March 26 on the ground floor at Yas Mall. On March 28 the flagship Disney Store will open on the second floor in Dubai Mall, near the Dubai Aquarium.
