Al Madina Group

About Us

Since 1971, Al Madina has grown from a neighborhood store into a diversified business group serving millions across the region. What began as a simple promise — to make everyday shopping honest, accessible, and dependable — has evolved into a network that touches lives daily through retail, shopping malls, technology, lifestyle brands, food production, healthcare, real estate, and more.

Built on the pillars of quality, freshness and customer trust, we continue to expand with innovation and purpose — while staying rooted in the communities we serve.

Who We Are

Guided by visionary leadership and a strong culture of service, Al Madina has become one of the UAE’s most recognized retail groups. Today, we operate 100+ outlets across the GCC, including hypermarkets, supermarkets, malls, and convenience formats, supported by a rapidly growing portfolio in telecommunications, electronics, bakery production, printing, catering, gold & diamonds, lifestyle goods and real estate.

Our growth is fueled by people, partnerships and operational excellence. We invest in capability, technology, supply chain strength and long-term relationships — ensuring every customer experience is reliable, consistent and value-driven.

Vision & Mission

Leadership Team

Through visionaries at the helm

Mr. Abdulla Poyil started his journey into the retail world at the age of 21. By the time he took over the reins of the Group in 1995, he was immaculately molded and trained by the wise business acumen of his father-in-law. His futuristic ideas helped him to grow both as a person and as a successful entrepreneur. His farsightedness not only made him the leading light of the Al Madina Group but also played a key role in modernizing the Group and making it one of the strongest retail giants in the region. It is his sheer perseverance, sincere efforts, devotion, and motivation to contribute his success to the society at large that has led to the Group’s skyrocketing accomplishments.

A visionary with strong ethics, a commitment to quality, and a man filled with empathy and respect; Mr. Abdulla Poyil strongly believes in serving the community and nurturing talent. A strategic thinker, he re-assess and resets his business goals from time to time and has become the major force behind Al Madina’s success story.
