The opening success of this mall

In 2008, when the mall was inaugurated, there was a big challenge to it run since the city was affected due to the global financial crisis. A lot of global and regional retailers, who tried to open their stores at that time, put on hold their expansion plans because they were not sure about how long the impact of the world financial crisis would exist in Saudi Arabia. Due to such issues, the owners of the mall ended up doing one to one talks with all the retailers who had purchased a store there. In this way, they succeeded in opening nearly 75 percent of the mall in 2008. Since then, they have been growing constantly year after year. With the year 2017 setting in, there is now 98 percent of occupancy in the mall.
