WA second-hand goods dealer and loan provider Cash Converters says it has opened a franchised store in Dubai.

It is the company's first store in the United Arab Emirates.

Cash Converters has about 130 stores in Australia and more than 600 worldwide, according to the company's website.

Its UAE general manager and licensor Fabrice Le Boulenger said there was strong demand for buying and selling used or unwanted items in the market.

"Having our showroom on Sheikh Zayed Road will be the key to our success, providing an immediate branding impact that will facilitate the opening of further stores in the region," Mr Le Boulenger said today.

Cash Converters, which is listed in both Australia and the United Kingdom, said the store was being opened by Bartergo General Trading LLC, its licensor in the UAE.
