Wars. Instability. Rising costs. A market that feels heavier every day. The UAE gave Citron its first customers, its first retailers, its first chance.We went from 1 product sold online to 1.5 million products in major worldwide retail, because this region believed in us. Now we believe in the brands building here.
This is our platform.
And it's powerful.
I built Citron from nothing. One lunchbox, sold online right here in the UAE. No retail. No team. No distribution. Just a belief and a region that showed up for me.
That support took us to 1.5 million products sold, across 49 countries and 1,000+ stores.
We rose because this region believed in us.
Today, as strong brands are being tested, I'm opening everything we've built.
Through Rise by Citron, selected brands get access to our retail, our customers, our team, our logistics, and our distribution.
Not as a gesture. But as a platform.
If you're building in kids, family, lifestyle, or food & snacks, we back you.
If you're in our space, we're in your corner.
"We went from 1 product sold online to 1.5 million products in major retail worldwide. The UAE made that possible. Now it is our turn. Rise by Citron is us reaching back to the brands building in our space right now."
— Sara, Founder of Citron®
