LuLu Group inaugurated three new value concept stores, called LOT, in Saudi Arabia in a single day — in Makkah, Saihat in the Eastern Province, and Riyadh. The central launch event took place in Makkah and was attended by dignitaries and government officials.
The Makkah store was inaugurated by Dr. Waleed Basuliman, general manager of investment and partnerships at the Royal Commission for Makkah City and Holy Sites, alongside LuLu Group Chairman Yusuff Ali M.A.
Nasser Huwaiden Thaiban Ali Alketbi, consul general of the UAE in Jeddah; Yaser Attar, director general of investment and deputy for planning and financial sustainability at Makkah Municipality; Abdulaziz Al-Sindi; Sheikh Ibrahim Al-Rifaei; and business figures from Makkah were also present.
Chairman Ali said: “This expansion reflects our commitment to the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 and our goal to offer high-quality, affordable products to all.”
He added that with LOT, their aim is to redefine value retailing by making everyday essentials accessible to everyone without compromising on quality.
“Four more LOT stores are in the pipeline in the Kingdom,” the LuLu chairman added.
Located on Abdullah Areef Street in Al-Rusayfah district, the new Makkah LOT store spans 43,000 square feet and is designed to deliver an engaging, budget-friendly shopping experience.
It features a wide selection of household essentials, kitchenware, and fashion for men, women, and children, with a strong emphasis on quality and affordability.
The store also offers ample parking space, enhancing its convenience for residents and visitors alike.
These value concept stores offer a wide range of products at unbeatable prices, with many items priced below SR22 ($5.87).

The Eastern Province outlet, located in Saihat within the LuLu Hypermarket complex on Al-Musib Ibn Rafi Street, offers 24,000 square feet of smart retail space tailored to budget-friendly shoppers.
Meanwhile, the Riyadh location in Al-Malaz features 18,772 square feet of retail space and comprehensive parking facilities.
All three stores opened with exclusive collections and promotional offers, reinforcing LOT’s core mission of making good-quality products accessible at wallet-friendly prices, responding to growing consumer demand for affordable yet high-quality retail experiences.
With this strategic expansion, LuLu continues to strengthen its footprint in the Saudi market, energizing the local retail sector and reaffirming its commitment to delivering value-driven shopping across key cities in the region.
