A fashion retailer based in Dubai has won the Guinness World Record title for the largest mobile clothing store.

As per reports, the brand Telal Gents Fashion has converted a number of buses into custom-made replicas of their stores, offering on-demand mobile boutique straight to the customer’s doorstep.

The brand so far has 32-outlets throughout the Middle East and its own footwear factory in Italy.

Director Hassan Thurabi, talking about how they came up with the initiative said, “We noticed a 30 percent dip in customer footfall during the pandemic due to lockdown restrictions and a reluctance from people to go outside for non-essential goods. To grow and in line with customer expectations, we had to find a solution to the situation fast, so we invented a platform to support the new needs of our customers.”
