Kinokuniya Bookstore, which has had a store in Dubai since 2008, is opening its second store in the United Arab Emirates, in Abu Dhabi, in spring 2020, the company said.
The store will be in the Galleria Al Maryah Island, which is expanding and will include 70 dining spots, more theaters and more retailers. Its Luxury Collection already includes more than 130 fashion, jewelry and watch shops.
Naoya Hirata, managing director of Kinokuniya UAE, commented: "We are very excited to celebrate our unique Japanese heritage within the Galleria Al Maryah Island's vibrant mix, and we look forward to welcoming the Abu Dhabi community to our store. Young children will love Kinokuniya's learning and development series, teens will be captivated with popular young-adult titles, and thousands of classic and contemporary fiction and non-fiction titles will suit all preferences." The company also will offer an "array of educational materials, art supplies, crafts and gifts."
