Jarir Opens New Granada Mall Branch in Riyadh

Saudi Arabia’s retail industry is growing and contributing significantly to the country’s economy thanks to government backing. One such industry that has started growing both domestically and abroad is Jarir Marketing Company.

The company’s announcement of the inauguration of its newest showroom in Riyadh, inside Granada Mall, served as a focal point for this expansion. By expanding its services and strengthening its geographic presence in the capital, it hopes to meet the increasing demand for a full-service shopping experience.

In a statement published on Tadawul, the company clarified that the showroom will open on April 19, 2026. This branch is the third addition to the company’s growth plans this year, demonstrating the company’s ongoing commitment to growing its retail operations.

Moreover, this showroom, the company’s 67th branch in Saudi Arabia and 78th overall, marks a significant milestone in its expansion strategy. Spanning 2,937 square metres, it is designed to showcase various sectors for which the company is well-known, including Arabic and English books, school supplies, stationery, educational materials, computers, smartphones, and their technological peripherals.

The company has allocated approximately SAR 24 million for the expansion of its branch, with financial impacts expected to reflect in its consolidated results by the second quarter of 2026.
