(MENAFN) Representatives of the Qatari royal family have submitted an offer to acquire a stake in House of Fraser, the UK department store, reported Arabian Business citing reports by the Financial Times and City AM.
The 164-year old retailer, which went private in 2006, has 60 branches in the UK and Ireland.
