Kuwait City: Landmark Group, the US$7 billion+ omnichannel retail and hospitality conglomerate, has recorded exceptional performance across its Kuwait operations, underscoring the market’s growing importance within the Group’s regional portfolio.
During the past financial year (July 2024 – June 2025), Landmark achieved double-digit sales growth in Kuwait, accompanied by a 10 percent expansion in retail space. This strong momentum carried into the first quarter of the current financial year 2025 – 2026, driven by an exceptional Back-to-School season across its flagship brands such as Centrepoint, Max Fashion, and Home Centre.
Today, Kuwait stands among Landmark’s strongest GCC markets and is home to three of Max’s top-performing stores. Building on this success, Landmark is embarking on an ambitious expansion plan that will see five new stores open by 2026 across its flagship brands. Accordingly, the Group’s retail footprint in Kuwait is expected to grow by 20 percent, in line with Landmark’s wider US$1 billion global plan to open 400 new stores by 2027.
The expansion also supports to Kuwait’s growing residential communities in Al Mutlaa and Sabah Al Ahmad, bringing Landmark’s value-driven retail experiences closer to customers. Over the past three years, the Group has opened six stores in Kuwait and remodeled thirteen existing ones, further elevating the in-store experience.
Advancing Kuwait’s Retail Transformation
Landmark continues to lead the region’s digital retail transformation. E-commerce currently accounts for nearly 20 percent of total sales regionally, with a seamless omnichannel model connecting stores and digital platforms.
The Group operates localized websites for Centrepoint, Max, and Home Centre offering Click & Collect, same-day delivery, and self-checkout services. A newly upgraded robotic fulfillment center in Kuwait now ensures faster delivery and enhanced inventory accuracy, underscoring Landmark’s drive to create a smarter, more connected shopping experience.
Empowering People and Talent from Within
With a workforce of around 2,000 employees, including a growing number of Kuwaiti nationals, Landmark continues to invest in its people as the cornerstone of its growth.
Through leadership and internship programs, the Group builds local capabilities and fosters a culture of inclusion and learning. Nearly 80 percent of Landmark’s future leaders in Kuwait are expected to emerge from within the organization reflecting its belief in empowering people to grow alongside the company.
Sustainability and Vision 2035
Guided by a deep commitment to responsible growth, Landmark integrates sustainability into every aspect of its operations, from using Better Cotton Initiative fabrics and FSC-certified recycled packaging to adopting LED lighting, smart-energy systems, and green-financed projects in new stores.
The Group also invests in youth empowerment, diversity, and community engagement, building pathways for the next generation of retail leaders.
These initiatives align with Kuwait Vision 2035, supporting the nation’s goals for diversification, sustainability, and human-capital development while advancing Landmark’s long-term ambition to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050.
