7 LOCAL & INTERNATIONAL RETAILERS During recent years, the UAE and the region have witnessed the entrance of a large number of exciting home-grown brands. A retail brand developed locally has the unique opportunity to tailor its offer in response to specific segments of the population, their cultural inclinations, tastes or shopping habits. While the creative process can be extremely rewarding, the investment comes with much higher risks for a small entrepreneur than for a large corporation. At Retail Boutique we provide a launch platform for homegrown retail concepts that aspire to take their brand to the next level, aiming to minimise the risk of investment in their expansion. Our ultimate goal is to take creative retail ideas and transform them into successful business stories. Our expertise will provide young retailers with an in-depth insight into the UAE retail market, access to the best real estate locations, negotiate the most favourable commercial terms and ensure each investment is commercially justified.
