Rituals, the British body and home products brand, has expanded its travel retail presence in the Middle East and entered the Asian market for the first time.
The brand has opened a shop-in-shop at the DFS store in Abu Dhabi International Airport and commenced trading from a pop-up store at T Galleria by DFS, in Hong Kong’s Causeway Bay.
The Abu Dhabi International Airport is Rituals’ seventh in the region
The activation at Abu Dhabi is Rituals’ seventh in the Middle East territory, with stores in other countries including Oman, Dubai and Qatar.
Rituals also revealed that the new Causeway Bay store in Hong Kong will be added to this year with the scheduled June opening of another pop-up in the country, also with DFS, at Sun Plaza in Canton Road.
