New stores and foodie spots open at Al Ghurair Centre, plus big back-to-school discounts

Al Ghurair Centre is ringing in the fall season with a wave of new store openings, dining options, and special promotions designed to give shoppers more reasons to visit. From fashion and food to health and family-friendly deals, the long-standing mall is adding variety to its retail mix while celebrating the back-to-school rush.

Among the most notable arrivals is Pharmacy For Less, the UAE’s first discount pharmacy chain, offering everyday savings on wellness and skincare products. In fashion, Jeanswest, an Australian brand, has made its UAE debut, while Call It Spring continues to attract style-seekers with its cruelty-free footwear and accessories.

Food lovers are also in for a treat. The mall has welcomed Avocadoria, a Filipino dessert spot known for avocado-based creations, and Sour Sally, an Indonesian favorite famed for its Black Sakura frozen yogurt. Coming soon are The Bear House, a casual Indian menswear label, and Gymflex, a global activewear brand that promises premium-quality leggings, joggers, and more.

Ahmed El Bassyouni, Executive Vice President, Hospitality, Mall & Commercial at Al Ghurair Property Management, underscored the mall’s vision:

“At Al Ghurair Centre, we are committed to enhancing our visitors’ experience by continually introducing new retail and dining options that cater to diverse tastes and preferences. Our goal as a longstanding institution in the city is to be a catch-all destination for fashion finds, family entertainment, and must-try dining spots, ensuring every visit offers something fresh and exciting for every member of the family.”
