The Rivoli Group, a Middle East importer and retailer of luxury brands, has unveiled two new Rivoli stores and one Montblanc boutique in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), as part of an extensive regional expansion program, according to a company press release.
The new Rivoli and Montblanc boutiques are located in the Al-Ain Mall, with an additional Rivoli store in the Sharjah Mega Mall. Shoppers will find a selection of top-end international watch brands at the new stores, as well as a selection of eyewear and writing instruments, men's jewelry, sunglasses and leather accessories.
“We're constantly identifying opportunities to service new areas and meet strategic brand objectives with new outlets in the Emirates, and in neighboring countries,” said Rivoli Group CEO Ramesh Prabhakar “The UAE is our home market, which is why it's very important for us to grow here.”
The new Rivoli locations follow on from recent shop openings in Abu Dhabi, Al-Ain, Sharjah and Ras Al-Khaimah, while Montblanc has recently opened stores in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Muscat.
The Dubai-based Rivoli Group began operations in 1988, but the Zarouni family-run business was founded 25 years ago. The Group's businesses in the UAE include 28 Rivoli stores, 39 Hour Choice shops, six Montblanc boutiques, two Dunhill shops and ten Swatch outlets. In addition, The Rivoli Group has been appointed the master dealer for Bang & Olufsen in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region and Egypt.
Formed in Germany in 1906, Montblanc is an international luxury brand manufacturer of writing instruments, handcrafted paper, men’s jewelry, sunglasses, watches and leather accessories. It opened its first shop in Hamburg in 1919, and there are now over 125 Montblanc boutiques worldwide. — (menareport.com)
