Ansar Mall Sharjah Closing After 23 Years as New UAE Stores Are Planned
A well-known shopping destination in Sharjah is preparing to close after more than two decades of operation. Ansar Mall Sharjah closing plans were confirmed this week, with the mall set to end its operations after opening in 2003.
As of August 23, 2026, the group has not announced an exact closing date. However, notices have appeared at the mall and clearance sales are underway, with discounts reported on selected products.
The Sharjah location is not the only outlet affected. Ansar Gallery branches in Deira and Karama in Dubai are also part of the group’s wider restructuring plans.
The retail group is preparing to expand into other parts of the UAE instead. New locations are planned in areas including Sheikh Zayed Road, Al Barsha, Abu Dhabi and Al Ain.
For shoppers, the closure could mean changes in where they can access the brand’s products and services. Customers looking for deals may also see increased promotions as existing stores clear their inventories before closing.
The Sharjah mall has been part of the emirate’s retail landscape since 2003, making its planned closure a notable change for long-time shoppers and residents.
The group has not indicated that it is leaving the UAE retail market. Instead, the planned closures appear to be part of a wider strategy to shift its presence toward new locations.
For now, customers should watch for official announcements regarding the final closing date and any changes to store operations.
