It has become a household name in the UAE, and no wonder. The Choithrams supermarket brand was originally set up in West Africa in 1944 by Thakurdas Choithram Pagarani, although it is the company’s current chairman who is credited with much of its success.
The elder Pagarani opened the first grocery in Sierra Leone and over the last seven decades Choithram & Sons has developed into an international company spanning Europe, North America, Africa and the Gulf.
Three decades ago, Choithrams established its first UAE store and now has a total of 25 across the emirates as well as the GCC.
Today, the firm is led by LT Pagarani, who continues to expand the brand across the Middle East.
Aside from retail, the company also has interests in food services, hospitality, garments and household appliances, and logistics and distribution.
