Giant Stores was founded in Dammam, KSA when two businessmen decided that the food industry was ready for a supermarket format. Our founders were Walid Chehadé, selected in 1997 businessman of the ME and Issam Al Muhaidib, owner of Nestlé water in KSA and Qatar and Al Muhaidib Rice, the leading brand in the ME.

Receiving in 1997, the title of the best Retailer in the Gulf, Giant Stores continues to spread in three main countries KSA, Qatar and Lebanon.

Classified as one of the top hypermarkets in Qatar, Giant Stores with its existence in the Hyatt Plaza Mall is known to be the best family destination in Qatar.

Much of the growth of our company has been accomplished through innovations and added value of its sister companies. The story of Giant Stores is incomplete without honoring these notable companies in their own right.
