This includes a complete assortment of the popular historical and contemporary dolls, along with a selection of doll outfits, accessories, Dress Like Your Doll® clothing, and the company’s best-selling books.

Following the successful launch of the region’s first two stores in Dubai at the end of last year, Bahrain proved to be the ideal location for the third store in the region. We look forward to the successes of this partnership and continuing to help spread American Girl’s strong ideals, personality, and retailtainment elements across regional audiences. Through its engaging and immersive retail experiences, the iconic brand is the perfect addition to the Majid Al Futtaim family. We continue to encourage our guests to share great moments together, and we are very excited to bring the American Girl experience to Bahrainis.”

Over the years, we have attracted a dedicated international audience and we are excited to better cater to them, with the help of Majid Al Futtaim!”
