Majid Al-Futtaim expands lifestyle retail footprint across Saudi Arabia
Majid Al-Futtaim, a leading shopping malls, communities, retail, and leisure pioneer across the Middle East, Africa, and Central Asia, has announced the expansion of its lifestyle retail footprint in Saudi Arabia. As part of its continued commitment to the Saudi market, the group's lifestyle business plans to open 13 new stores in 2025 — five already launched — bringing its total store count in the Kingdom to 31. The expansion features a mix of global lifestyle and luxury brands across Riyadh and Jeddah. This includes the launch of the first Saudi stores for Italian smart luxury brand Eleventy and luxury menswear label Corneliani, both of which debuted this month at Solitaire Mall, Riyadh. In May, Poltrona Frau — the iconic Italian luxury furniture house — will open its first store outside the UAE at Centria Mall, further reinforcing Majid Al-Futtaim's commitment to growing its luxury presence in the Kingdom. Abercrombie and Fitch and lululemon also opened new stores in Solitaire Mall last month, marking an important step in their continued regional growth. The brands now operate six and nine stores respectively across the Kingdom, with new locations set to open in Jeddah later this year. Fahed Ghanim, CEO of Majid Al-Futtaim Lifestyle, said: 'Saudi Arabia continues to be a core focus for our business, and our retail expansion reflects both growing consumer demand and our confidence in the market. From fashion and wellness to home and design, our goal is to deliver more of the brands our customers love — while introducing fresh experiences through our exclusive global partnerships.' 'In a region where customers have an abundance of choice, our ambition is to curate a portfolio of global lifestyle and luxury brands that offer something truly distinctive in the Kingdom. By introducing brands like Eleventy, Corneliani, and Poltrona Frau, we are bringing new dimensions to the luxury market — combining timeless craftsmanship with modern sensibilities that resonate with the refined tastes of our customers.' The launch of Eleventy in Solitaire Mall is part of an ambitious regional expansion for the brand with another four standalone Eleventy stores opening in key locations in 2025, including Mall of the Emirates, Marsa Al-Arab, Dubai Mall and The Grove in the UAE. Known for its commitment to sustainable practices and premium materials, Eleventy reflects the growing consumer demand for quality and subtle sophistication, all under the 'Made in Italy' banner. Marco Baldassari, co-founder and menswear creative director at Eleventy, said: 'Eleventy's philosophy of understated elegance and commitment to sustainability resonates strongly with the sophisticated Middle Eastern consumer. We are excited to strengthen our partnership with Majid Al-Futtaim, whose visionary approach to luxury retail is shaping a new vision with a growing focus on customer needs. Together, we aim to redefine luxury retail by offering timeless craftsmanship, sustainable practices, and innovative experiences.' Majid Al-Futtaim's lifestyle portfolio will also welcome a new Crate and Barrel store at Sahara Mall, Riyadh, reinforcing the brand's presence in the capital. Meanwhile, in Jeddah, five new stores will launch at Jawharat Mall, including lululemon, Hollister, Eleventy, Abercrombie and Fitch, and AllSaints — bringing some of the world's most in-demand fashion and lifestyle brands even closer to Saudi customers. Majid Al-Futtaim's retail expansion in Saudi Arabia builds on a record-breaking 2024, which saw a 26 percent increase in revenue across its lifestyle portfolio and a 31 percent surge in digital sales — including a 22 percent uplift in Saudi Arabia alone. The year also saw the opening of 17 new stores across the region, five of which are in the Kingdom, as well as flagship locations for brands such as lululemon, Crate and Barrel, and CB2, alongside 27 e-commerce platforms.

Saudi Label Kayanee Lands at Riyadh's Solitaire Mall
Saudi Label Kayanee Lands at Riyadh's Solitaire Mall Saudi women's wellness brand Kayanee is back - and this time, it's taking over Riyadh's Solitaire Mall with a new boutique that blurs the line between retail, ritual, and rebellion. Equal parts concept store and lifestyle sanctuary, the space is built around three core pillars: Move, Wear, and Learn. Translation? You can shop for performance gear that doesn't scream 'gym,' test-drive smart wellness tech, and pick up a few things about your body while you're at it. It's less shop-'til-you-drop and more shop-'til-you-self-actualize. 'The response to our flagship store in the Diplomatic Quarter showed us something big: Saudi women don't just want products. They want places that reflect how they live now,' says Vikram Natarajan, Kayanee's CEO. At Solitaire, that idea goes fully future-forward. The store taps into the digital ether with 'Place & Learn' tech - smart sensors that spill everything from price points to health benefits when you place a product on an interactive table. It's giving full transparency, no awkward sales pitch required. And the fitting rooms? Think touchscreens, styling hacks, real-time size checks - and, if you're feeling human interaction, an associate who actually knows what they're doing. 'This new space is refined, sure, but it's also warm. It's designed for women to explore everything from activewear and supplements to self-care essentials that don't feel like afterthoughts,' says Marketing Director Talal Jarkas. Kayanee isn't here to sell you a yoga mat and call it wellness. For them, movement is a way of being. And this expansion? Just one more push in a much bigger mission: to build a new kind of wellness culture in Saudi Arabia - tech-savvy, women-led, and unapologetically modern.

Riyadh's Got a New It Spot—And Yes, It's the Chanel Store at Solitaire
Solitaire Mall may be the new kid on the block, but with Chanel setting up shop, it's already feeling like the most stylish address in town. Riyadh just got a little more Chanel. The French luxury house has officially opened doors to its latest boutique inside the newly launched Solitaire Mall, and it's already causing a stir with its white marble, curated art, and racks of ready-to-wear you'll want to live in. Spanning 538 square meters, the boutique unfolds into two interconnected spaces, designed by long-time Chanel collaborator Peter Marino. Inside? A fashion lover's dream: ready-to-wear, watches, fine jewelry, shoes, bags, fragrance, and exclusive pieces you won't find elsewhere. Artworks by Johan Creten, Voukenas Petrides, Y.Z. Kami, and Lee Bae transform the VIP salon into something between a gallery and a getaway. The interiors also channel the House's signatures— tweed upholstery, soft wool carpets, plush seating— infused with just the right cocktail of French restraint and Saudi opulence.
