MAGRABi has so far opened stores in the UAE’s Dubai Hills Mall and Springs Souq, the Place Vendome Mall in Qatar, the Jeddah Park Mall and Imam Bukhari Street in Saudi Arabia, and Egypt’s Open Air Mall.

The company opened the first own-brand stores that are part of its expansion and renovation programme earlier this month.

The expansion is intended to strengthen its position as an optical retailer across the Middle East.

MAGRABi said that the launch of the Doctor M brand has allowed it to cover multiple segments, describing Doctor M as ‘agile and responsive to customer demands and market trends’.

MAGRABi currently operates a network of 142 stores and claims to be the only optical retailer operating across the entire Middle East region.

The retailer states that it strives to ‘push boundaries, empower employees and positively impact society’, including in the area of gender equality.

It opened the region’s first female-only staffed store in Al Hamra Mall in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
