In 1993, Babasons, backed by the internationally renowned T. Choithram Group of Companies, set up their first grocery store at Salmaniya. By 1996 this expanded into three outlets with the addition of two stores, one in Muharraq and the other in Hamad town. With the high standards of quality and service inherited from Choithrams, Babasons, Mega Mart continues to be one of the leading supermarket chains in the Kingdom of Bahrain.

Motivated by strong market demand for a bigger, better department store in the Kingdom, Babasons, Mega Mart, in 2000, presented Bahrain with its first single biggest department store covering a 50,000 sq. ft. area. This store continues to provide ample car parking space and all that shoppers need, under one roof. By 2002 another store in New Juffair was added. This covers a 30,000 sq. ft. area and is within easy access of the American Naval Base. The product profile caters to the demands of Mega Mart’s growing American and European clientele. In 2011, anticipating market trends and the busy lifestyles of customers, a smaller version of the stores was developed. This provides essentials, faster quality shopping and a handy location – Mega Mart Express was introduced at Abraj Al Lulu and is around 6500 sq ft. Its success has prompted the opening of an outlet at Galali in 2013 with an area of 7500 sq ft. and another outlet at Segaya was opened in 2014.

New brand store Macro Mart was introduced in 2013 with its first outlet at West Riffa followed by another store in Saar in 2014.

Further expansion plans continue and the company will be coming up with new outlets wherever the demand arises.
