The Sultan Center (TSC) (Arabic: مركز سلطان) is known for its retail business as the largest independent publicly traded retailer in Kuwait, serving 5 million customers yearly in its 60 stores across Kuwait, Oman, Jordan, and Bahrain.[1] With its expertise and exceptional customer experience, it aims to expand further across the Middle East as a prominent leader in retail.

History[]

The four-decade-long story of The Sultan Center was founded by Jamil Sultan. In 1981, he established the first self-service retail store in Kuwait; it was based in Shuwaikh and took on a Home Center format.[1] Jamil Sultan is regarded as a visionary and pioneer in the business community of Kuwait. In addition to founding The Sultan Center, he propelled Agility Logistics, a state-owned warehouse company into a worldwide logistics firm, and he was the Vice-Chairman of National Real Estate Company Kuwait (NREC), a leading real estate investment and development firm present in the Middle East and Africa.[2]

The business ventured into the food retail industry with the opening of the Salmiya store in 1986 that is still serving customers with care as The Sultan Center's flagship store.[1]
