iMall, Sharjah’s newest mall, developed by Nice Home Real Estate – one of the leading real estate developers in the emirate of Sharjah – is all set to open its doors on 30 June, 2016, with grand opening celebrations commencing on day one of Eid al-Fitr.

Spread over a built-up area of 125,000 sq. ft., this new iconic mall, initially launched against the backdrop of a rising demand for consumer technology gadgets in the UAE, has now evolved into a value-based shopping mall offering a portfolio of impressive fashion and lifestyle brands along with an array of core-concept (IT) shops.

As initially envisioned, iMall seeks to meet the growing demand from consumers for IT and communication-related products in both retail and wholesale segments. However, with the addition of a new product category, a department store, the mall will now cater to families including women and children specifically to offer a complete family experience.

Speaking about the launch, Monir Lotfi, Director, iMall, said: “iMall provides unique deals across all its product categories, and incomparable leisure and edutainment experiences. With the addition of a department store, we couldn’t have picked a better date to launch the mall as it provides people in UAE a new shopping and entertainment destination during Eid al-Fitr.

“We look forward to welcoming everyone to iMall for our grand opening celebrations commencing on the first day of Eid al-Fitr. We have planned a number of activities catering to families. Some of these activities include an LED light show; an Ariel act; special entertainment by dancing robots from Spain – something that hasn’t been done in the UAE before; and a digital caricature artist among other things. We also have special offer booklets, car raffles, and prizes planned for visitors to the mall during Eid.”

Focusing on technology, electronics, F&B, leisure activities and edutainment, iMall offers an array of diverse and unique retailers in this segment, all under one roof.

Some of the technology retailers include: Goldgenie, a UK based company entering the UAE market offering specialized services in luxury gold-plating of mobile phones, accessories and other gadgets; National Store, the authorized master distributor of Canon, Moser, SanDisk and other brands, will also be launching its flagship home-brand retail outlet in iMall; and Adawliah, a leading electronic musical equipment retailer with 34 outlets in Saudi Arabia, and four outlets in Kuwait will be launching a unique experience zone as part of their retail store.
