AL MAKHZAN
Arabian Roots has gained immense experienced dealing in the
business of wholesale over the years in Saudi Arabia and
other areas of business.
In an effort to increase the Group’s market share in the
areas where the Group is present, the senior management
decided in the year 2002 decided to venture into the retail
business. The aim was to expand the business by reaching out
to a new segment of the market; comprising mainly direct
users such as small scale subcontractors and home users. The
concept of Al-Makhzan than took birth.
In basic terms, Al Makhzan concept is all about a retail
shop, operating on a “cash and carry” concept, each shop
with an average size of 120 m2 to 200 m2 that houses a large
and comprehensive collection of building materials, ranging
from light tools and equipment to electrical items to name a
few.
At present, the Group has already established 18 operating
outlets, mainly located in the GCC. The Group’s management
approved ambitious plans to increase the number of Al
Makhzan outlets to reach 45 by the year 2012 which are also
expected to cover countries outside the GCC (i.e. Lebanon,
Syria and Egypt).
