Shaklan Group Saudi Arabia

Shaklan Group is a UAE-based retail company established in 1997, initially starting with a single supermarket in Al Quoz, Dubai. Over the years, Shaklan Group has grown into a significant retail player with a network of 28 outlets across the UAE and expanding into Saudi Arabia as of 2024. The group focuses on managing commercial enterprises including Shaklan Hypermarkets, Supermarkets, Markets, Minis, and Department Stores. These retail formats emphasize well-designed, hygienic shopping environments with a focus on freshness and bulk purchasing.

The company emphasizes creating customer-friendly retail spaces with efforts concentrated on quality products and impeccable service. Its hypermarkets are designed as one-stop shopping destinations with features like food courts, kids' play areas, and ample parking, targeting weekend shoppers and broader consumer needs. Department Stores under Shaklan offer a wide range of products including fashion, footwear, home essentials, and electronics, catering to diverse consumer segments.

In 2024, Shaklan Group expanded its geographical footprint beyond the UAE by launching a 20,000 sq ft hypermarket in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, reflecting its strategic expansion plans into new markets with high growth potential. Alongside retail outlets, the group operates warehouses and cash and carry formats supporting its supply chain and wholesale operations. The group has also launched a customer loyalty program named 'Mate' aimed at enhancing customer engagement across its stores.

As of the latest available information, Shaklan Group's turnover is estimated in the range of 50 to 100 million euros (2023), supported by a workforce of approximately 100 to 199 employees primarily in the UAE, with ongoing growth likely due to expansion initiatives in Saudi Arabia.
