Jan Bros is a family-owned business established in 1967 in Dubai, U.A.E. But the roots run deeper. In 1930, our founder, the late Mr. M. M. Joofri, left his native land at a young age and sailed to the Kingdom of Bahrain — a decision that changed his family's history forever.

After serving a local cafeteria for a couple of years, he started with nothing more than a gunny bag of salt and a gunny bag of charcoal under a makeshift tent. Within five years he had transformed that venture into a grocery shop in the heart of Manama city. The lane it sat on became popularly known as “Joofri Gali” (Joofri Lane).

Today, Jan Bros operates out of Dubai with branches in Oman, Bahrain, and Kuwait, serving markets across the entire MENA region, the Indian Subcontinent, and parts of Africa. The founding principles — integrity and social responsibility — remain at the core of everything we do.
