ALHALEES STORY

Our journey started back in 1952 when our late father Youssef AlHalees founded a small neighbourhood grocery store in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, and named it Palestine Grocery.

His vision was to grow his little store into a more significant establishment that serves the community at large. Indeed, after several years of hard work and dedication, AlHalees group was founded in 1982. From that day on, the AlHalees name continues to expand and service a wide range of industries, including food services, groceries, and related goods, industrial equipment, central kitchen and catering gear, as well as packaging lines, and more.
