Giordano Middle East received the RLI Global Retailer of the Year Award bestowed by Retail & Leisure International (RLI) and Best Middle East and North Africa (MENA) Retail Brand awarded by the Middle East Council of Shopping Centres & Retailers (MECS+R) in 2022, as it completes 30 years of a fantastic presence in the Middle East.

Dr. Peter Lau, Chairman of Giordano International, said, “The region’s growth in the past 30 years has been amazing. It is Giordano’s honour to be part of it. I have made many life-long friends here and am thankful for them teaching me the local history I deeply respect. We will continue to celebrate the region’s great culture and serve our local customers earnestly for the next many years”.

Ishwar Chugani, Managing Director, Giordano Middle East said, “Looking back, I could not have predicted just how far we have come since our inception in 1993 – our team, the Giordano brand, the malls, and continuous opportunities for expansion across the region. I would like to express our gratitude for the support of the Government and local authorities in each of the countries in which we operate for fostering the environment needed to thrive. It is areal cause for celebration”.

He further added, “The entire region is buzzing. The rapid development of local infrastructure and the number of mega projects being rolled out are phenomenal”. He concluded, “We will continue to take a cautiously optimistic approach, maintaining our expansion momentum while taking into consideration the challenges that lie ahead stemming from global geopolitical tensions and evolving local labour requirements.”
