Hamleys deals and shopping guide

Q: Is this the same Hamleys as the London store?

Same brand, different operator. Retail Arabia International has run the Gulf stores under franchise since Dubai Mall opened in 2008, so UK pricing and loyalty do not transfer.

At this pace, an item you put off for a year costs roughly 2.3% more, which is why a marked sale month beats waiting for prices to fall.

Buyer Guide

How to get the most out of Hamleys

Reviewed by Savooh's editors

Hamleys traces back to 1760, making it one of the oldest toy retailers in the world, and its Gulf stores operate under Retail Arabia International's franchise since the Dubai Mall location opened in 2008, not as a directly run branch of the London original.

A 264-year-old brand, run regionally by a Dubai franchise partner

Because Gulf Hamleys stores operate under a franchise agreement with Retail Arabia International rather than London's direct management, regional promotions and stock selection are set by the local franchise partner rather than the UK flagship.

About Hamleys : the full picture

Hamleys was founded in London in 1760 by William Hamley, growing from its original Pall Mall shop into the Regent Street flagship it is famous for today, and stands among the oldest toy retailers in the world.

In the Gulf, Hamleys operates through a franchise with Retail Arabia International, which opened the Dubai Mall store in November 2008 and has since expanded to nine GCC locations across the UAE, Qatar and Kuwait, with Saudi Arabia stores including a Riyadh location following.

Shopping Tips

Before you buy at Hamleys.

What our editors do before they buy from this store.

The London brand, run here under franchise

Retail Arabia International has operated the Gulf stores since the Dubai Mall location opened in 2008, rather than London running them directly. UK promotions, loyalty and pricing do not carry across.

You are paying for the visit as much as the toy

A retailer trading since 1760 built its format around demonstrations and staff on the floor, and that experience is priced into the shelf. The same boxed toy is cheaper at a general retailer, so decide which you are buying.

Exclusives are the honest reason to buy here

Store-exclusive and branded lines are the items a supermarket cannot match on any price. Everything else is a comparison you should run before reaching the till.

Nine GCC locations, and stock differs between them

The franchise network spans several markets, and a line stocked in one store may be absent from another. Call the branch about a specific item rather than trusting a regional listing.

Toy pricing moves at the season, not on a code

Reductions arrive after the year-end gifting weeks and when a range is replaced. A birthday in March is better served by choosing the toy than by waiting for a promotion.

Alert the post-holiday clearances

The deepest reductions follow the gifting season rather than running through the year. An alert covers a purchase that can wait for the shelves to be cleared.

Savooh Answers

What people ask about Hamleys coupons

Is this the same Hamleys as the London store?

Same brand, different operator. Retail Arabia International has run the Gulf stores under franchise since Dubai Mall opened in 2008, so UK pricing and loyalty do not transfer.

Why is it more expensive than a supermarket?

The format is built around in-store demonstrations and staff, and that experience is priced into the shelf. On a standard boxed toy, a general retailer is usually cheaper.

What is actually worth buying there?

Store exclusives and own-branded lines, which no other retailer stocks at any price. For everything else, compare before buying.

What to check before you use a Hamleys code.

UAE stores operate under a franchise agreement with Retail Arabia International, not under direct London management; the franchise opened its first Dubai Mall location in 2008.
