Abdullah Al-Othaim Markets is a Saudi-based retail company with roots in the grocery trade. It operates a broad network of wholesale and retail outlets across Saudi Arabia, supported by sizeable storage facilities that enable distribution and coordination with suppliers. The business traces its origins to 1956, when founder صالح العثيم established the first shop in Riyadh; the entity later formalized in 1980 to pursue expanded wholesale and retail activity. Over the years the footprint grew to serve customers in many urban centers throughout the kingdom. Today the group runs more than 360 branches, with a combined footprint exceeding 500,000 square meters and a large, diverse workforce. Its operations are backed by modern warehouses and an expanded distribution fleet aimed at improving service levels and supplier cooperation. The company serves around 100 cities and provinces in Saudi Arabia, underscoring its prominent position within the domestic retail landscape. In 2021, it published interim financial results covering the first nine months of the year.
