Since 1957, Bombay Stores has been more than a shop, it’s been a landmark. As the UK’s first South Asian department store, it has shaped Bradford’s cultural and retail landscape for nearly 70 years.
Now, the iconic store is entering an exciting new chapter, transforming into a spectacular retail experience inspired by Dubai’s legendary IBN BATTUTA MALL. The new look will feature themed zones, from Silk Road treasures to Arabian souks and vibrant South Asian bazaars, all under one roof.
Customers can expect an unmatched shopping experience with designer fashion, jewellery, homeware, beauty, and gourmet food from across the globe. The store will remain true to its heritage while offering an atmosphere that feels like stepping into another world.
Store Director Sameer Kader said: “This isn’t just a makeover, it’s a reinvention. We’re combining the spirit of Bombay Stores with the scale and style of Dubai to give Bradford something truly extraordinary.”
