Tamimi Markets: a Dammam-based grocery chain explained

Owner, roots and growth

Many shoppers ask about the tamimi markets owner before anything else. The chain is the food retail arm of the Tamimi Group, a privately held Saudi conglomerate based in Dammam. Wikipedia dates the group to 1942 and credits Sheikh Ali bin Abdullah Al-Tamimi, with his heirs owning and running it today. The supermarket business itself has been active since 1979, and in 2018 Tamimi Markets opened its headquarters and largest store in Dammam.

Growth has been steady. A 2014 report counted about 21 modern supermarkets and a goal of 50 by 2020, and the same report said consumers had voted the brand into a national Top 100 Saudi Brands list. By 2023 reports spoke of well over one hundred locations including distribution centres. In June 2023 the Public Investment Fund signed an agreement to take a minority stake, with expansion, online grocery and a possible listing among the stated aims.

That history is a useful backdrop when you compare Saudi Arabia chains: Hyper Panda and Lulu are names you will meet in the same listings, but the Tamimi story starts in the Eastern Province, which explains why the chain is so closely tied to Dammam and Alkhobar. You can explore every chain in the Other hub.

Stores, formats and what to expect inside

The 2013 superstore in Hofuf, Al-Hasa, shows the format. It covered about 3,500 square metres, carried over 40,000 grocery items and had a full deli and a bakery section. Management said it offered the same departments as the bigger flagship on the Alkhobar Corniche. The same report described a year-round promotion section for staples such as rice, oil, sugar, flour and tea, supported by flyers, which was then new for the chain.

If you search for tamimi markets near me, tamimi markets Riyadh or tamimi market Dammam offers, the answer depends on the branch: ranges and promotions are not identical everywhere. The official store locator is the safest guide to the nearest branch and its schedule, because timings vary and are not listed here.

For a different shopping style, compare Carrefour and Nesto, or open SACO to see how another catalogue is laid out. The Other hub lists more options in the same space, and each store page shows its own current edition with dates and page count.

Online ordering and the weekly catalogue

Tamimi Markets online works through an app that lets you browse, fill a cart and then pick either a collection time or home delivery at checkout. The App Store listing mentions Arabic, English and Hindi, barcode scanning and a high rating, while reviewers praise on-time fresh deliveries but also report out-of-stock items. A second route started in 2025: Careem Market by Tamimi Markets delivers thousands of Tamimi products in select Riyadh neighbourhoods, with a promise of 20 minutes, and the Careem listing mentions rotating weekly offers.

The paper-style catalogue is the other half. The current Tamimi Markets edition on this page is valid from 22.10.2026 to 27.10.2026 and has 1 pages. Editions usually stay valid for about 7 days and new ones tend to appear around Thursday. People look for tamimi markets offers today, tamimi markets weekly offers, a tamimi market weekly flyer or the tamimi markets this week catalogue, and the page above answers all of these in one place.

To get value from it, list the staples you buy every week and compare them with Al Raya and Dukan, checking pack sizes rather than just the headline. Before Ramadan or National Day, a short list prepared from two catalogues often saves a second trip. Back on the Saudi Arabia page, or in the Other hub, you can switch between chains in seconds and keep the comparison going.
