OUR HISTORY

In 1985, Safeer Hypermarket opened its first store in Sharjah, marking the start of a legacy. With a vision to provide affordable, quality products to UAE families, we quickly became a household name. Over the decades, we’ve expanded across the region, staying true to our roots while introducing mega promotions that make shopping even more rewarding. Today, we’re proud to serve millions with the same passion and dedication we started with.
