Kiosks and RMUs designed to the centre's criteria, built in our workshop and installed overnight, with the lighting, power and signage ready for trading the next morning.
Dar Anan designs and builds mall kiosks and retail merchandising units (RMUs) across Riyadh. We develop the design to the centre's kiosk criteria, take it through tenant coordination, fabricate the joinery off-site, and install it in the concourse overnight, with power, data, lighting and signage connected and tested.
A kiosk is small, but it is the most exposed unit in the mall. It is seen from every side, it has no walls to hide services behind, and it has to fit into a footprint and height the landlord fixes to the centimetre. It is part of our retail fit-out service, run by the same team that delivers full stores, with MEP in-house.
Kiosk fit-out is won in the workshop. The concourse is only available after trading hours, so the kiosk is fabricated, finished and dry-assembled off-site, then delivered in sections sized for the service lift and fixed in place overnight. On site the work is assembly, connection, lighting focus and snagging, not construction.
Typical kiosk scope includes:
Permanent kiosks. Built for daily trading over the length of the licence, with durable finishes and serviceable lighting and power.
Pop-ups and seasonal units. Lighter, modular builds for Ramadan, Eid and campaign periods, designed to be installed and removed quickly.
Multi-site rollouts. One kiosk design adapted to the criteria of several centres, fabricated in batches. If the brand is moving into a full store or a larger format, see our showroom fit-out service, and for shopfront and signage rules read our guide to shopfront and signage approval in Riyadh.
Layouts and elevations developed to the centre's kiosk criteria, with sightlines, customer flow and staff working space resolved within a fixed footprint.
Shop drawings, material samples, fire-rating data and electrical loads prepared for tenant coordination, with comments closed out before fabrication.
Counters, display units and storage fabricated and finished in the workshop, dry-assembled and checked before delivery, in sections sized for mall access.
Lockable under-counter and rear storage, cable management and stock drawers planned around what the team actually sells and restocks during the day.
Integrated LED display lighting, illuminated logos and graphics within the centre's signage zone, specified to stay cool and serviceable.
Connection from the landlord's floor or ceiling point to a kiosk distribution board, with circuits and data for lighting, signage, POS and screens.
Kiosk projects often split the design, the joinery workshop and the electrical connection between three parties, and the brand finds the gaps on installation night. We design, fabricate, install and connect the kiosk ourselves, so the drawing the landlord approved is the kiosk that arrives.
Footprint, height, materials and signage checked against the specific handbook before the first submission.
Each kiosk is assembled and checked in the workshop, so installation night is assembly and connection only.
Our own electrical team wires the kiosk and coordinates the connection with the mall's engineers.
From the centre's criteria to trading, with most of the work done before the kiosk reaches the mall.
We review the centre's kiosk criteria, the location and the landlord's power and data point, and agree the brief, budget range and opening date.
Design development, shop drawings, samples and electrical loads are submitted to tenant coordination and comments are closed out.
Joinery, counters, lighting and signage are built and finished in the workshop, then dry-assembled and wired for checking.
Delivery through the service route at the booked time, assembly in the concourse, and connection to the landlord's power and data point.
Lighting and power tested, a snagging walk with the landlord, a final clean, and a 12-month defects liability period.

View Project →We design and install kiosks across Riyadh's shopping centres, including:
A kiosk is a small build with a long list of landlord rules. These are the local conditions that decide whether it opens on time.
Riyadh Park, Panorama, Nakheel Mall and the other major centres each issue their own kiosk criteria for footprint, height, materials and signage. A design that clears one centre will not necessarily clear the next, so the submission is drawn to the specific handbook.
Kiosks sit in the open concourse, so delivery, installation and any noisy work happen overnight. The kiosk is built to arrive in sections that fit the service lift and corridors, and to be assembled within the permitted hours.
Open concourses can be warmer near entrances and glazed atria, and dust builds up on exposed surfaces. Finishes, edge details and lighting are chosen to be cleaned easily and to tolerate daily handling.
Ramadan, Eid, back-to-school and the Riyadh Season calendar bring a rush of kiosk and pop-up openings. Landlord reviews and fabrication slots get busier at the same time, so starting early protects the date.
Kiosk signage and graphics are reviewed by the centre, and Arabic is commonly required alongside other languages. We confirm the centre's current rules before the artwork is finalised.
Kiosk materials, graphics and any temporary hoarding are checked by the landlord for fire rating, and the centre's Civil Defence obligations apply to the concourse. Certificates are collected with the order, not after installation.
Send us the centre, the location and the kiosk criteria, and we will come back with a design approach, a programme and a proposal.

Read the guide →What brands ask us before commissioning a kiosk or RMU.
Design development to the mall's kiosk design criteria, shop drawings for landlord approval, off-site fabrication of the kiosk joinery and counters, integrated lighting and signage, power and data connection from the landlord's floor or ceiling point, lockable storage, and overnight installation and handover. We can also produce the graphics and any temporary hoarding the centre requires.
Most of the time is in approval and fabrication, not on site. Once the landlord has approved the shop drawings, the kiosk is built in the workshop and installed in one or a few overnight shifts. Our shop fit-out process guide gives indicative timelines for kiosks and pop-ups alongside larger stores.
Yes. Every Riyadh centre sets its own rules for kiosks and RMUs: maximum footprint and height, sightlines across the concourse, permitted materials and fire ratings, signage size and illumination, and where power and data can be taken from. We design to those criteria and prepare the submission, then close out the tenant coordination team's comments before fabrication starts.
Yes, if that is in the brief. We can design the kiosk as modular units with concealed fixings and demountable signage, so it can be relocated within the centre or reused elsewhere. Each new centre will still review it against its own criteria, so allow for some adjustment.
Usually from a landlord-provided point in the floor or from above, terminated at the kiosk position. We route it through the kiosk base to a small distribution board, with circuits for lighting, signage, POS, display screens and any appliances. The connection to the landlord's supply is often witnessed or carried out by the mall's nominated contractor.
Yes, for coffee, juice and dessert kiosks within the centre's rules. Food kiosks need more coordination on power, water and drainage points, and the activity is licensed with its own requirements. We plan those connections with the landlord at design stage.
Every kiosk is handed over after a snagging inspection with the landlord, with lighting and power tested, followed by a 12-month defects liability period on our work.
Send us the centre, the location and your opening date. We'll review the criteria, scope the kiosk and send a detailed proposal.
