About Lulu Hypermarket in the UAE

Lulu was founded by Indian businessman M.A. Yusuff Ali and grew from a single supermarket in Abu Dhabi into one of the Gulf’s biggest retail chains. Its GCC retail business, Lulu Retail Holdings, listed on the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange in November 2024. The UAE is Lulu’s largest market, with well over a hundred hypermarkets and express stores.

Lulu stores sell groceries, fresh food, electronics, clothing and household goods, and many have in-house bakeries, butcheries, hot food counters and fish sections. That variety is why Lulu hires for so many different trades – from cashiers to skilled food production staff.
