Sharjah’s Iconic Safeer Mall to Reopen as Mark & Save Mall in 2026
After its closure, Sharjah’s Safeer Mall has been acquired by Western International Group, which plans to transform the space into ‘Mark & Save Mall’ following an 18-month renovation.
Sharjah’s Safeer Mall, a longstanding commercial hub in the emirate since 2005, is set for a major transformation following its acquisition by Western International Group. The landmark shopping centre, which officially closed earlier this year, will reopen in 2026 under a new name — Mark & Save Mall — following a planned 18-month redevelopment project.
The renovation will not involve demolition, but the entire interior and infrastructure will be modernised to meet updated standards and improve customer experience. As part of the upgrade, all tenants — including the nine remaining shops — will be required to temporarily vacate the premises.
Western International Group, a multinational conglomerate with investments in retail, real estate, and consumer goods, took over the mall in January. The group is behind several popular regional brands including Geepas, Mark & Save, Nesto, Younglife, and Royalford.
The revamped Mark & Save Mall will feature a contemporary design with optimised layouts for retail flow, as well as upgraded facilities that comply with current governmental requirements. According to Western International Group, the redevelopment is also expected to generate hundreds of job opportunities throughout the construction period, spanning sectors such as retail, logistics, hospitality, entertainment, and facilities management.
