About Landmark Group

Landmark Group is one of the largest retail and hospitality groups in the Middle East. Founded in 1973 by Micky Jagtiani with a single store in Bahrain, the group is headquartered in Dubai and operates hundreds of stores across the Gulf, Africa and Asia.

Its retail portfolio includes some of the region's most familiar brands. Centrepoint brings together several of its fashion and lifestyle concepts under one roof, Max offers value fashion for families, Home Centre sells furniture and home décor, and Babyshop, Splash, Shoe Mart and Lifestyle cover children's products, fashion and footwear. The group also operates franchise brands and hospitality businesses.

Digital commerce has become an important part of the group's strategy. Landmark's brands sell online through their own websites and apps, and the group launched Styli, a digital-first fashion brand aimed at younger shoppers. Its loyalty programme, Shukran, rewards customers across many of its brands, providing data and engagement across the group.

Omnichannel retail, connecting stores with online shopping, is central to how the group serves customers. Services such as click and collect, in-store returns and shared loyalty points allow customers to move between online and offline channels.

Landmark Group's scale gives it strengths in sourcing, supply chain and logistics, which support both its store network and online operations. The group has invested in technology to manage inventory, personalise marketing and improve customer experience.

Its long history in the region means Landmark's brands are household names for many families in the Gulf, particularly for affordable fashion and home products.

The Gulf retail market is shifting steadily toward online and omnichannel shopping, and large retail groups are investing heavily to keep pace. Competition from marketplaces and international online retailers has increased pressure to innovate.

Landmark Group's transition from physical retail to omnichannel commerce makes it relevant to anyone studying retail in the UAE, and Startups UAE lists it among Dubai's major retail groups.
