SACO (Saudi company for hardware) has opened the largest home improvement store in Riyadh. Located on Dammam Highway Northern Ring Road Riyadh Exit 5, the 11,300 square meters SACO WORLD megastore occupies two floors, stocks more than 35,000 line items and creates 40 new jobs for Saudi nationals.
"During the past two decades SACO has become recognized throughout the Kingdom as a one stop shop for all your home needs and this flagship showroom, which we have named SACO WORLD, is the culmination of almost 20 years experience in giving Saudi consumers what they want and cannot find anywhere else," said Haytham Al Hamidi, Executive Marketing Manager "Not only is this new showroom the largest home improvement store in the Middle East, it is also the best, bringing to the capital city of Riyadh the most up to date trends in retailing and opening a new avenue of career opportunities for Saudi nationals."
Features of the new store include 13 departments with the following services: Installation, Delivery, Design Services, Rental Dept., How-To Clinics, a children's playroom and a coffee shop on the 2nd floor, also an innovative drive-through area – the first of its kind in the region – where contractors, builders and home owners can have construction materials such as bags of cement loaded straight on to their trucks or cars.
The new showroom is the 14th store in a chain of outlets covering eight cities across the Kingdom and stocks the full range of products that has made SACO one of the most popular shopping venues in the GCC.
Established in 1985, SACO is a pioneer in the hardware retail and wholesale business in Saudi Arabia. (menareport.com)
