Majid Al-Futtaim Lifestyle, a leader in lifestyle retail across the GCC, has announced the opening of Crate and Barrel and CB2 in Red Sea Mall, Jeddah, marking the first side-by-side store for the sister brands outside the US. Connecting customers to designers worldwide, the stores are set to provide dynamic collections curated for Jeddah residents, featuring indoor and outdoor furniture, tableware, kitchenware, décor, accessories, rugs, and bed and bath items.
The openings mark the second store for both Crate and Barrel and CB2 in the Kingdom, following the success of the Riyadh-based stores, which saw a 27 percent growth since opening in 2022. The regional expansion is a continuation of the upward growth trajectory initiated by the brands’ partnership with Majid Al-Futtaim Lifestyle, which launched in 2017 and also includes three Crate and Barrel stores and the region’s first CB2 store in the UAE.
Fahed Ghanim, CEO of Majid Al-Futtaim Lifestyle, said: “We are thrilled to open our second stores for Crate and Barrel and CB2 in Saudi Arabia and bring these world-class brands to Jeddah residents. This move represents a significant milestone in our journey as we continue to elevate our home category across the region.
“The dual openings also underscore our commitment to expansion into the Kingdom, ensuring that our valued customers in Saudi Arabia have access to globally sought-after brands and the latest design trends.”
Renowned globally for its modern furniture, textiles, kitchenware, and home decor, Crate and Barrel offers exclusive designer collaborations with Jake Arnold, Leanne Ford, Athena Calderone and Molly Baz. The new 1,400-square-meter Jeddah store has a dedicated space for Crate and Kids, showcasing children’s decor, toys, furniture, accessories, and bed and bath items.
Meanwhile, CB2’s 630-square-meter store invites customers to explore collections featuring design-forward collaborations with designers such as Gianfranco Frattini and Lawson-Fenning, as well as a seasonal assortment of CB2 exclusives.
Sarah Sullivan, senior director of international operations at Crate and Barrel Holdings, said: “As we celebrate the grand opening of the Crate and Barrel and CB2 stores in Jeddah, we are delighted to see a growing demand for our brands in the region, a testament to the successful partnership with Majid Al-Futtaim Lifestyle.”
We look forward to curating inspiring spaces for Jeddah residents, introducing exclusive collaborations, and weaving our brands into the fabric of the community.”
Both brands also provide an online shopping option through local platforms.
