Saks opens store in Bahrain

NEW YORK Saks announced that it has opened its first licensed Saks Fifth Avenue store in Bahrain. The two-level, 57,600-square-foot store is located in the Bahrain City Centre, an upscale development in Manama, Bahrain.

In 2003, Saks entered into a license agreement with Style Avenue Middle East to open licensed Saks Fifth Avenue stores in the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Kuwait, and Bahrain. The Bahrain location will be the third store opened under this agreement.

Stephen Sadove, chairman and ceo of Saks, commented, “We are very pleased to bring Saks Fifth Avenue to Manama, Bahrain, which is a great shopping and tourist destination. We have worked closely with Style Avenue Middle East to deliver an extraordinary assortment of luxury brands and experiences to the residents of and visitors to Bahrain.”
