In keeping with AZADEA Group’s commitment to providing an unmatched shopping experience, the new brands make up a total footprint of 12,800sqm and support Reem Mall’s unique, all-in-one retail and dining experience. This new collection of popular brands will further cement the mall’s reputation as one of the Emirate’s leading leisure destinations and is a perfect fit for its wider surroundings, taking customer choice to a whole new level.
