Azadea Group is a premier lifestyle retail company that owns and operates more than 50 leading international franchise concepts across the Middle East and Africa. Since its inception in 1978, the Group has grown a substantial chain of stores representing leading international brand names in fashion and accessories, food and beverage, home furnishings, sporting goods, multimedia and beauty and cosmetics.

Today’s Azadea Group grew out of a single clothing store called Subway that opened in 1978 at the heart of Beirut. Just a few years later, we won our first international franchise, MaxMara.
Shortly thereafter, the company embarked on an expansion that has taken it across the Middle East and Africa and added more than 50 of the world’s most popular brands. With over 12,000 employees, Azadea now boasts more than 600 stores in more than a dozen countries.
