Through its Lulu supermarkets and hypermarkets the group, which is the UAE's largest retailer, is a major player in the region's mass grocery retail (MGR) industry. Currently Emke operates a network of 57 outlets throughout the region, including Qatar, Oman, Kenya and Yemen, and has plans to open at least four hypermarkets in Bahrain.
