The retail group has announced that it has acquired The Body Shop Stores (UAE), the exclusive distributors of The Body Shop and operators of the retail stores in the UAE.
The acquisition will allow Kamal Osman Jamjoom to extend its already successful The Body Shop business beyond its well-established Western Saudi Arabia territory.
“With this expansion into the UAE, we are thrilled to offer The Body Shop products to a broader customer base across the GCC, and to reinforce our successful partnership with The Body Shop International. We founded our company almost 35 years ago with the launch of The Body Shop in Western Saudi Arabia. This investment now makes us the largest franchise operation for The Body Shop International in the MENA market,” commented Hisham Al Amoudi, Group CEO of Kamal Osman Jamjoom.
Meanwhile, David Boynton, the Chief Executive Officer of The Body Shop International, added: “The Body Shop has enjoyed a wonderful partnership with Kamal Osman Jamjoom Group LLC (KOJ) for 35 years and I’m confident that this relationship will go from strength to strength as we embark on the next stage of our journey together.”
