UK retailers find Gulf is irresistible - The National

A major British retailer is expanding across the Gulf, joining a host of peers from the United Kingdom seeking respite from weak sales at home.

M&Co, a Scottish fashion retailer with nearly 300 stores across the UK, will roll out its brand in Dubai and throughout the Gulf.

"We are launching the M&Co brand in the UAE and specifically in Dubai," said Lee Braid, the company's international franchise manager. "Our plan is to open 12 stores in the UAE over the next five years and 30 around the Gulf."
