Franchise International:

MH Alshaya Group, a Kuwaiti-based company, launched itself onto the international market when in 2006 it brought UK-based beauty and healthcare retailer Boots and Sweden-based value fashions operator H&M to the Middle East. The company is also franchise partners with many international brands including Debenhams, TopShop, TopMan, Next, River Island, Faith, Peacocks, BHS, Mothercare, Footlocker and Laura Ashley.

The Group is organised into four divisions: automotive dealerships, hotel management, real estate ownership and management, and retail. MH Alshaya Group now operates over 1,700 stores across the Middle East and southern and eastern Europe.

Founded in 1890 as a trading company, the modern MH Alshaya Group was created in 1983 when it signed a regional franchise deal for UK-based baby and child retailer Mothercare. The creation of the Mothercare franchise package was aided by Franchise Development Services, a UK-based franchise consultancy company, which frequently uses the subsequent success of what MH Alshaya Group has achieved to demonstrate to other retail property owners how they can benefit from acquiring franchise rights and develop both within their own and other independent property owners territories.
