To mark the milestone, Hello Kitty will be travelling from Tokyo to Dubai to celebrate as Candylicious turns 10 and she celebrates her 45th anniversary.

Everyone loves candy! It was on that universal premise that Candylicious was founded a decade ago. Candylicious is one of the largest candy stores in the world: over 11,500 square feet retailing more than 500 brands and over 5,500 varieties of candy and chocolate. Staying true to the brand’s sweet origins, it continues to offer delightful moments to its guests to truly bring out the child in everyone. The whimsical candy store is home to an array of household names including Chicago’s Garrett Popcorn Shops, Spun Candy and 3D gummy candy printing with Magic Candy Factory. Every corner of the candy store is filled with more mouthwatering sweets than you could ever imagine and experiences such as the interactive Rush Play to bring smiles to residents and visitors alike.

Candylicious and your favorite childhood character Hello Kitty are celebrating the milestone with an extravaganza starting Friday, October 18^th with an early bird preview of the collection from 8am-10am. Say hello to your inner child, until November 30^th, as the home of sweet happiness at The Dubai Mall will be completely transformed into a candy wonderland and Hello Kitty haven with exclusive Candylicious x Hello Kitty merchandise. There will be Hello Kitty-themed parties at Partylicious on weekends from October 18th onwards.

Guests can relive their favorite Hello Kitty moments by joining on the celebratory day on Saturday 2^nd November, dance to her tunes, play games and get a chance to take a photo with Hello Kitty herself! At 2pm, 4pm and 6pm the Hello Kitty and Candylicious mascots will parade through The Dubai Mall celebrating the collaboration and giving out candy, what better way to spend your weekend.
