Lenskart opens new store in Saudi Arabia

Eyewear business Lenskart has opened its second store in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s Riyadh. Lenskart made its brick-and-mortar debut in the country a week ago.

“Thrilled to announce the grand opening of our second store in Riyadh at Salaam Mall,” announced Lenskart’s associate vice president of retail Mahmoud Elfeky on Linkedin. “This marks a proud moment as we expand our commitment to serving our valued Saudi customers. A big thanks to everyone who has been part of this success.”

The mall is located in Alawali in Riyadh and also houses international fashion and lifestyle brands including The Body Shop, Zara, Al Samah, Astani, Yves Rocher, Ornage, and Scarf among others. By opening in the mall, Lenskart will experience footfall from locals and expats alike. 

Lenskart offers over 6,000 styles of eyewear from international sunglass and glasses brands with both premium and mid-range products available. The business has expanded its brick-and-mortar footprint significantly and also retails on a range of multi-brand e-commerce platforms which offer international shipping. 
 
Peyush Bansal, Amit Chaudhary, and Sumeet Kapahi launched Lenskart in 2010 as a multi-brand eyewear and eye care business, according to its website. Now retailing from stores across India and online, the business has turned its focus to international expansion in recent years and launched in territories including Dubai and Singapore.
