Primark announces first stores in Middle East

International fashion retailer Primark has confirmed plans to debut in the Middle East, in partnership with leading international retail franchise operator Alshaya Group.

Following the announcement of the strategic partnership in September 2024, Primark and Alshaya have confirmed plans to open the first of its new stores before the end of 2025 across the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) - starting with Kuwait (The Avenues, Kuwait) in October this year and Dubai in early 2026 with Dubai Mall, Mall of the Emirates and City Centre Mirdif.

With four stores for Primark in the Middle East across the UAE and Kuwait, Primark and Alshaya will also continue to work together to consider future stores in other markets across the region.
