Spinneys

In 1924, Arthur Rawdon Spinney, a British army officer stationed in Egypt identified a need in the area for imported food products, planting the seed for what would later be one of the Middle East’s leading supermarket chains.

Spinneys is one of the largest retail operators in the region. It operates 24 owned stores across Egypt, Lebanon and Qatar and has a presence in the UAE and Oman under a franchise agreement. Through the company’s multiple formats that include hypermarkets, supermarkets, convenience and discount stores, Spinneys has emerged as one of the leading supermarket retailers in the MENA region.
