SGW Retail Ltd. Has now been based in Riyadh working for Tihama for 3 years.  Within that period we have achieved an incredible amount of goals and are very proud of what we have managed to accomplish.

One major achievement has been the revamping of the Retail Division of the Tihama group with store openings, including overseeing the recruitment and development of a HO team –with the relevant departments – B&M, Marketing and a Field Team.  This has been a fantastic success.

High Street Stores

The design and implementation of a new concept  Tihama Retail Store selling Fashion Stationery, Digital, Toys, Books and Novelty items.

We focussed hard and put a lot of time into developing this new concept and managed to open two new stores in Riyadh with more planned for Riyadh and Jeddah.  The feedback from customers for the Tihama Retail Stores has been superb.
