Deira City Centre will open 18 new convenience and service-oriented stores in the Metro Link, which starts from the mall entrance by the Dubai Metro station.

The newly constructed Metro Link is part of Deira City Centre’s redevelopment project, which will see a total of 55 new shopping options and enhancements to amenities in the mall with this phase now complete.

With 1,680 sq m of additional retail space, the mall has introduced 18 new stores and services tailored to this location which is in direct access to the Dubai Metro, a statement from the mall authority said.

The Metro Link opening will be celebrated with family entertainment, adding to the festivities this weekend for the 40th UAE National Day and building the festive spirit, the statement said.

Additionally, visitors who shop in the Metro Link from December 8 to 17 will be rewarded for their purchases. Every Dh100 ($27.23) spend at any store in the Metro Link earns the chance to enter the daily draw of Dh5,000 ($1,361). 

“Deira City Centre’s redevelopment is ultimately about making the visitor experience a more enjoyable one,” said Fuad Al Najjar, asset director for Deira City Centre. “We experience high traffic from the Dubai Metro so the addition of this new area is ideal for our customers, to take advantage of convenient and practical stores and services, all clustered in a single area for the visitor on-the-go. We’re excited to open the Metro Link as a part of our redevelopment project. This phase of our redevelopment is now complete offering 55 new stores at Deira City Centre.” – TradeArabia News Service
