Nature Republic Opens First Store in Dubai Mall... "Targeting Middle East Market"

Dubai Mall, Hub for Global Brand Shops
Entered Saudi Market in 2018... Holds 11 Stores in Middle East

Nature Republic has opened its first store in The Dubai Mall, accelerating its entry into the Middle Eastern market.

According to industry sources on the 15th, Nature Republic's Dubai store is located in the largest shopping mall in Dubai. The Dubai Mall is a landmark bustling with global brand shops, and Nature Republic is the only Korean brand present there. The Nature Republic Dubai store covers a total area of 119㎡ (approximately 38 pyeong) and emphasizes a high-performance naturalism concept. One side of the store features a VIP zone where customers can experience the premium line ‘Jinseng Royal Silk’ and receive customized consultations tailored to their skin concerns.

On the opening day, popular Middle Eastern influencers, including the famous broadcaster and influencer ‘ROAA,’ who has 4 million Instagram followers, visited the store. Consumers passing by the store easily recognized the popular product ‘Soothing and Moisture Aloe Vera Soothing Gel.’

Makeup products in various colors and reasonable price ranges also attracted attention. Since consumers in the Middle East often cover their faces with hijabs, they show great interest in eye makeup and nail products visible through the gaps. Additionally, the ‘Cryo Icing’ line of mask packs, which helps rapidly reduce skin temperature suitable for the hot Middle Eastern climate, received high interest.

Since opening its first store in Saudi Arabia in 2018, Nature Republic now operates up to 11 stores exclusively in the Middle East, including Bahrain and Oman. Since last year, it has expanded its distribution network to pharmacies and e-commerce platforms in Qatar and has also entered Morocco, Egypt, Iraq, and Libya, accelerating its full-scale Middle Eastern market strategy.

Jung Unho, a representative of Nature Republic, stated, “The opening of the Dubai store signifies an accelerated expansion of the Middle Eastern market by strengthening customer touchpoints in Dubai, a major hub and global landmark in the Middle East. Based on a diverse category lineup and early market entry know-how, we plan to continuously expand our brand competitiveness in the Middle Eastern market.”
