Since its inauguration, the mall has welcomed thousands of visitors per month, reflecting its importance as a preferred location for both essential shopping and leisure activities.

“As we celebrate the first anniversary of DAMAC Mall, we are immensely proud of the role it has played in enhancing the DAMAC Hills community,” said Mohammed Tahaineh, General Manager of Projects at DAMAC. “The mall was envisioned not just as a retail destination, but as a hub that brings residents together, offering convenience, quality, and a sense of belonging.”

The mall’s success is supported by its lineup of key tenants that contribute significantly to its appeal.

“We are working on a strategic expansion that will enhance our offerings, setting new standards in the industry. Our focus remains on creating dynamic retail environments that not only meet but exceed the expectations of our customers and partners,” added Essa Ibrahim, Vice President of Investments at DAMAC.

Spinneys at DAMAC Mall provides residents with convenient access to a wide range of grocery options and fresh produce.
