Each of the proposed shops will have an area ranging from 3,000 to 5,000 square meters, according to the company, known for being the largest store of its kind in Saudi Arabia.
"We provide and deal in home appliances, computers and accessories, books, toys, Internet services, car electronic devices and services, technology support, and a live demonstration kitchen featuring the latest concepts and gadgets in home cooking," said Mohammed Adil, Chief Executive Officer of Best, who also serves as the CEO of the Geant hypermarket chain that is part of the Fawaz Al Hokair Group.
