The new opening forms part of Mark & Save’s ongoing regional expansion strategy, with six additional hyperstores planned across the GCC over the next six months.

Spanning more than 150,000 square feet, the multi-level Muhaisnah hyperstore has been designed to offer customers a spacious, convenient, and enhanced shopping experience. The store will serve the growing nearby community and surrounding areas, providing customers with greater value across daily essentials, including fresh fruits and vegetables, fish, meat, poultry, fast-moving consumer goods, household essentials, electronics, bakery, hot food, fashion, and more.
The new hyperstore will feature more than 100,000 Stock Keeping Units (SKUs), catering to diverse customer needs across multiple categories. To support its operations, the store has recruited approximately 400+ professionals, further contributing to local employment and the retail sector.
