The new outlets offer shoppers increased choice and variety, with extra big name brands providing an added attraction for shoppers and offering a greater range of fashion, home wares and books and magazines than ever before.

Bernice Boshoff, General Manager, Ibn Battuta Mall, comments:
"We are delighted to announce that four new stores are now open for business at Ibn Battuta Mall - New Look, @Home, Shoemart and Borders. These big name additions provide an even greater draw for our regular customers, and further enhance the Ibn Battuta shopping experience."


"With more than ever on offer, we are continuing to grow and attract customers. We've already seen an increase in footfall in 2009, and with the Cirque du Soleil's Alegrķa here from 5 March, there's never been a better time to come to Ibn Battuta," Boshoff added.

With the nearby Discovery Gardens residential development filling up fast, the opening of new stores is being driven by increased customer demand. The mall has already got off to a great start in 2009; January and the beginning of the Dubai Shopping Festival saw a recorded ten per cent increase in footfall over the same January 2008. With Ibn Battuta playing host to Cirque du Soleil's critically acclaimed show Alegrķa from March 5, the mall expects to see further increases in visitors - with thousands set to attend the show.

Nakheel Retail is committed to its regular customers, and will erect a temporary car-park to cater for the expected increased footfall during March.
