Setting Up a Kiosk in a Dubai Mall
Kiosks and pop-up retail remain one of the fastest-growing segments in Dubai's mall ecosystem. Whether you're launching a new concept, testing a market, or running a seasonal activation, here's what the process looks like.
Step 1: Secure Your Mall Location
Most Dubai malls (Emaar, Majid Al Futtaim, Nakheel, Al Ghurair) have leasing teams for temporary retail.
Step 2: Design & Mall Submission
Your kiosk design must comply with mall guidelines including maximum height restrictions, material specifications, branding rules, and electrical load limits.
Step 3: DED Licensing
You need a trade license from the Department of Economic Development (DED).
Step 4: Fabrication
We build kiosks in our Al Quoz workshop:
- Standard kiosk: 7-10 working days fabrication
- Custom/complex: 10-14 working days
Step 5: Installation
Typically overnight (after mall closing). Most kiosks are installed in a single night shift.
