Jashanmal to expand regional footprint with first store in Oman

Jashanmal has been a pioneer in retailing — since 1919 — in the Gulf countries.

Retail giant Jashanmal is all set to aggressively expand its regional footprint with the launch of its first store in Mall of Oman, said Shuja Jashanmal, group chief officer for department stores, Jashanmal National Company.

“Strong bilateral trade relations between neighbouring countries have been in place since pre-nation times between the tribes and ruling families within the lower Gulf region. Both nations — the UAE and Oman — are now fully developed and will continue to prosper and strengthen their individual economies relying on bilateral trade and opportunities,” said Jashanmal.

He said Oman has become one of the most important markets in terms of stability, a growing local market, and a positive outlook. “We at Jashanmal Group will continue to invest in both countries and bring to market the quality products, services, and stores we have become synonymous with over the last century,” he added.

Retail pioneer

Jashanmal has been a pioneer in retailing — since 1919 — in the Gulf countries, which witnessed a business footprint across the GCC from Iraq to Kuwait, Bahrain, and the UAE. Over these years, the brand became well known among GCC nationals and residents as a business that offered quality products and services to enrichen the lifestyle of the people living in the Gulf countries.

“We garnered many Omani customers who frequented our stores especially in Bahrain and the UAE over the many decades and have written to us many times over these years asking us to set up stores in Oman. Some 20 years ago, we set up a distribution company in the Sultanate and started supplying many brands to Omani retail chains and hypermarkets,” said Jashanmal.
