Founded in 1982 by pioneering businessman Mr. L.K. Pagarani, Al Maya Group has grown from one grocery store into one of the Gulf's most established retail and distribution groups.
1982The year it began
Al Maya Group was established in 1982 by the pioneering and inspiring businessman Mr. L.K. Pagarani. From its Dubai base, the group has become a force to reckon with across the industry.
Today the group employs more than 5,000 people from 30 different countries across multiple business verticals — the FMCG distribution of food and non-food products, processing plants in India and other countries around the world, and over 90 retail stores in the UAE & GCC, including supermarkets, Borders and Paperchase.
Through it all, one belief has not changed — the founder's own: "Do it with passion, or not at all."
Our values define our culture and guide the way we work — with our business partners, within our communities and with each other.
For our customers, our partners, our communities — and each other.
In every negotiation, every contract and every shelf we stock.
The standard behind 50+ supermarkets and 100+ brands — and the bar for the next one.
5,000 people from 30 countries, working as one group.
The vision that took one Dubai store to five countries: see the idea, then build it — from a central bakery serving the emirate's hotels to a poultry farm producing the nation's favourite eggs.
Our deepest purpose is to provide the highest level of service, the broadest selection of products, and a value that improves the lifestyle of the consumer.
Over the past two decades the group has strengthened its regional presence across four neighbouring markets.
