Dubai, UAE — Move over, Mall of America. The Dubai Mall opened on November 4, with almost 600 retailers. Jim Badour, CEO, Emaar Malls Group, said in a statement, “We have the largest ever number of retailers together for the first time in a mall opening.” When fully operational, it will have more than 1,200 stores, including anchor department stores Galeries Lafayette and Bloomingdale’s, 220 gold and jewelry outlets, 160 food and beverage outlets, a supermarket and an organic food mart. Lifestyle and leisure offerings include a Gold Souk, the Olympic-sized Dubai Ice Rink and the Fashion Catwalk atrium.
