Post by : Badri Ariffin

Primark is gearing up for its expansion in the Middle East, with plans to unveil its first stores in Dubai by 2026. The renowned affordable fashion chain will introduce three locations in the UAE this year.

The inaugural store in Dubai will open its doors at Dubai Mall on March 26, 2026. This will be succeeded by a store at City Centre Mirdif in April and one at Mall of the Emirates in May.

Following its entrance into the GCC market with its first store in Kuwait in October 2025, Primark has outlined further expansion across the region.

The retailer will establish a presence in City Centre Bahrain and is also eyeing Doha Festival City in Qatar, although the specific launch date for Qatar remains undisclosed.

Globally, Primark is expanding with plans to open its flagship store in Manhattan, New York, in the spring of 2026. By the conclusion of 2026, Primark aims to be active in 21 countries worldwide.

With its focus on budget-friendly fashion, Primark is set to draw significant crowds in both Dubai and throughout the Middle East.
