Primark is gearing up for a significant expansion in the Middle East, with three stores slated to open in Dubai in 2026. This much-loved budget fashion retailer is set to ignite excitement among shoppers.

The first store will welcome customers at Dubai Mall on March 26, 2026, followed by openings at City Centre Mirdif in April and Mall of the Emirates in May.

Having marked its entry into the GCC with a launch in Kuwait in October 2025, Primark is now confirming its ambitions for further growth in this vibrant region.

Upcoming openings include a location at City Centre Bahrain and its debut store at Doha Festival City in Qatar, although the date for the latter is still pending.

Globally, Primark is also expanding rapidly, with plans for its first flagship store in Manhattan, New York, to open in spring 2026. By the close of 2026, the brand will span 21 countries.

Renowned for its budget-friendly fashion, Primark is anticipated to draw large crowds in Dubai and throughout the Middle Eastern market.
