The Tamimi Markets journey began in Al Khobar, where its first store opened in 1979 and introduced a modern retail experience to Saudi Arabia. From that first location, the brand expanded across the Kingdom and Bahrain through several formats, including Tamimi Markets, Tamimi Express, Tamimi Mini, and Tamimi Café.

As the Group expanded its construction capabilities, Tamimco Company (TCC) joined its journey in 1998.

The Group’s journey extended into marine services in 2010 with the addition of High Seas Marine & Industrial Services.
