Tamimi Markets

Renovation / Refurbishment

Tamimi Markets is one of the fastest-growing supermarket chains in Saudi Arabia, and Saudi shoppers named Tamimi Markets a Top 100 Saudi Brand 5 times in the past 6 years. Our vision is to be the best supermarket in the kingdom, with a focus on customer service, quality, freshness, variety and everyday low prices. Tamimi Markets is the supermarket of choice for many Saudis and expatriates. Our spacious, well-stocked and competitively priced stores carry the finest local and regional brands and a wide selection of quality produce, meats, seafood, cheeses and household products. We also import foods, produce and household products from across the globe, including Asia, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, Egypt, Ethiopia, France, Holland, Lebanon, Mexico, New Zealand, the Philippines, South Africa, Syria, United Kingdom and USA. Our well-stocked departments provide special services such as custom cakes, sliced fresh bread, freshly grated cheese and fresh ground meats. Our ready-to-go convenience foods include brick oven bread and pizza, rotisserie chickens, Tamimi’s famous homemade hummus, salads and fresh appetizers. And we’re the first grocery store in Saudi Arabia to emphasize healthy choices with a special Healthy Living department featuring organic, natural, dairy-free, gluten-free and sugar-free foods. Tamimi Markets is a Saudi Arabian company based in Al Khobar and is a subsidiary of the worldwide Tamimi Group headquartered in Dammam. We currently operate more than 20 supermarkets in Al Hasa, Al Khobar, Aqrabiyah, Dammam, Doha, Jeddah, Jubail and Riyadh, and we plan to more than double our stores in Saudi Arabia by 2020. In 1953 Sheikh Ali Abdullah Al Tamimi established the Tamimi Group to provide pipeline construction, general construction and related services to Saudi Arabia’s fast-growing oil and manufacturing industries. Over the past 60 years, the Tamimi Group has expanded to more than 30 businesses that support the kingdom’s emergence as a major force in the global economy. In 1979, Sheikh Tamimi opened the kingdom’s first modern supermarket in Khobar and partnered with Safeway, a major North American food retailer, to import products from around the world. The store quickly became a huge success, attracting both Saudi and expatriate customers from across the Eastern Province. From the beginning, Tamimi Markets offered the widest selection of local, regional and international foods and household products in Saudi Arabia. Other Tamimi Markets soon opened in Aqrabeyah, Dammam, Riyadh and Jeddah. In 2011, Tamimi Markets unveiled a new modern, attractive and welcoming supermarket design to make shopping even more appealing, convenient and fun. The company’s first store on the Al Khobar Corniche was the first to undergo a complete remodel with the new design. The success of this new fresh format and its appeal to customers has led to rapid growth.
