Alshaya history
Alshaya has become a byword for trading and commerce in the Arabian Gulf. Since our foundation in 1890, we have become a major player across a variety of sectors, initially in Kuwait, and now operating in 13 countries including KSA, Kuwait, United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Qatar, Oman, Lebanon, Jordan, Cyprus, Turkey, Russia, Egypt, and soon to open in Poland.
Between the 1960s and 1970s we expanded substantially, developing distinct businesses in real estate, construction, hotels, automotive and general trading. Today, we have over 14000 employees, who work within our retail division, which started in 1983 with the launch of the Mothercare franchisee.
To keep abreast of ever-changing commercial developments within the region has taken foresight and energy – family traditions for over a century.
Our mission is to be recognised as the Regions leading retailer, operating International Brands to the highest standards. Through a sprit of trust, co-operation and best practice, we aim to build and maintain long-lasting, professional and mutually profitable business partnerships.
