Bahrain City Centre set to add significantly to the Kingdom’s economy
Bahrain’s newest landmark will generate up to 4,000 jobs
The Group CEO of Majid Al Futtaim says that Bahrain’s biggest and brightest new mall, Bahrain City Centre, will contribute significantly to Bahrain’s strengthening economy.
Anders Moberg said that the mall, due to open in September, is expected to put Bahrain’s retail offering on par with other international cities like Dubai, London and Paris and help the Kingdom continue to attract a growing number of visitors.
On Tuesday Anders Moberg said, “After more than 2 years in the making, this month’s completion of the construction stage of the iconic 1.5 million square foot Bahrain City Centre signals Bahrain's arrival as a modern and key retail destination. When all 350 stores and both hotels are fully operational in 2009, it will employ more than 4,000 people, of which more than 50% will be local Bahraini nationals.
We proudly support the Bahrain government’s plan to boost its tourism sector and Bahrain City Centre is the Kingdom’s boldest attempt yet to claim a larger share of the around $30 billion spent annually in malls in the GCC.
