Al Maya Distribution is a well-known distribution service in the UAE (United Arab Emirates) and other regions in the GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council). While being one of the best-performing and leading FMCG distribution companies in UAE in the B2B (business to business) category, it is also a part of the Al Maya Group which has a huge presence in the B2C (business to consumer) segment as part of its retail and supermarket operations. Through the latter segment, the Group covers virtually all major points of sale which gives a huge advantage and leg-up to companies who are opting for Al Maya Distribution as their partner for product storage, distribution, warehousing, logistics and transportation.

The Group itself started setting up its supermarkets in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) back in the year 1982 and has now become one of the country’s largest chains of supermarkets, operating various brands including the neighborhood Al Maya Supermarket, Jesco, Citi Mart, Shop n Save and Al Ain City Centre. Al Maya was one of the region’s very first supermarkets to come with ...
... free home delivery facilities and is the only one that offers 24 hour delivery services too. Customers can easily call to place their orders for quick delivery or choose next day delivery as well. Orders can be placed on the brand’s Facebook page as well.

The Group was founded by Lachmandas Pagarani who set up the entity in the year 1982 after opening various successful retail and wholesale outlets across the UK and Hong Kong. The company is one of the region’s most trusted and biggest supermarket brands with 90+ stores throughout the Gulf and multiple locations in the UK and India alike. The Group has also forayed into processing, franchise operations (via its deals with Paperchase and Borders) and distribution. It has also set up a major 861,000 sq. ft. warehouse cum office facility at Technopark in Dubai. Food distribution is the core strength of the brand along with retail and these two attributes combine superbly for the benefit of leading multinationals and food brands looking to expand their presence in the region. It has been seen that Al Maya Distribution products usually enjoy superior market leadership via the sheer network and spread of the retail and supermarkets division.
