Opening in Dubai

Clas Ohlson is launching its first franchise business outside Europe on 30 April 2014. The new store is located in Dubai’s Mirdif City Centre, one of the biggest shopping centres in the region. The franchisee is SYH Retail, a company belonging to the Al Homaizi Group. It is intended to open a second outlet in the area during this current year. The Swedish company plans to open some 20 stores in the Arabian Peninsula altogether.
