Who we are

Headquartered in Kuwait, Alshaya is the leading retail organisation in the Middle East, with thousands of employees and stores in the Middle East, Africa, and Central Europe.

We are predominantly a franchise retail operator and currently have more than 55 brands in our company portfolio. The group has an excellent reputation in the Middle East, gained from our commitment to quality and our impressive growth in recent years. We are proud to say that we are seen as an employer of choice for workers across the GCC region.

We were the first Middle East retail organisation to expand into European markets and our operating divisions cover Food Services, Fashion and Footwear, Health and Beauty, Optics, Pharmacy, Starbucks, H&M and Office Depot.

We will soon add Home Furnishing to the portfolio in the opening of Pottery Barn and Pottery Barn Kids.

We are opening new stores and launching new brands throughout the countries we operate in, and are continually looking for new markets where we operate successfully and further expand our geographic reach.

We are ambitious, we are growth-oriented, and we want passionate, enthusiastic retail professionals to help us achieve our targets and build our market share in the face of ever-tougher competition.
