It’s been one year since Festival Plaza started operation in Jebel Ali, minutes away from Marina, Tecom and Barsha South. Since then, it has opened 23 new retail outlets, including ACE Hardware along with Al Futtaim Clinic’s premium branch, Tashafi for family medicine and Lutetia for all your cosmetology needs. Additionally, a brand-new Daiso has just opened doors early December. Now the community mall wants to give back to the people that helped build the community – YOU!
To celebrate the people that matter most to them, Festival Plaza is launching the CommYOUnity Festival. Kicking off on 10th December until 31st January, the festival will be 45 days of gifts,cash rewards and activations for shoppers to offer them a totally new store experience.
To celebrate its regular shoppers, Festival Plaza is calling all visitors to visit its giant gift box in a campaign called ‘Gifting You’, located on the ground floor of Festival Plaza in Jebel Ali which will be counting down each day at different times of the day. Shoppers must scan the QR Code on the screen and participate in a time-based fun game before the countdown runs out of time to avail a prize! Prizes range from cash credit on the Festival Rewards app – AED 300,000will be given away as cash credit through the celebration period through the Gift Box!
Elsewhere in the mall, shoppers will have the opportunity to become the face of the celebrations! Guests can get their picture taken in the Mall and have their face projected on screens within the mall, every night during the anniversary celebration. Guests will receive a link to share pictures of their new-found five minutes of fame!
Speaking ahead of the CommYOUnity Festival, Jeffrey Laski, General Manager at Festival Plaza had this to say: “We are a destination that is part of a brand that stands for community, so we were always going to go all out for our one-year anniversary to celebrate our community. We can’t think of a better way to mark the occasion than by giving back to the people that have made our inaugural year such a successful one – our customers. We will continue to provide daily exceptional experiences for our customers as they celebrate with us in a safe and convenient environment.”
Everyone will have a chance to win with mini celebrations taking place across the mall as Festival Plaza celebrates its most valued shoppers.
