Steady in Bahrain
by: BTM - Mon, 13 Apr 2026
Al Rashid Group outlines operational continuity and a measured retail approach in Bahrain following a more cautious Ramadan and Eid trading period.
Al Rashid Group, an affiliate of Landmark Group, is maintaining full operations across Bahrain, with stores, e-commerce platforms and delivery networks continuing without disruption.
Customer engagement has remained steady across physical retail and digital channels, reflecting the resilience of its omnichannel model during a period shaped by more cautious consumer behaviour over Ramadan and Eid.
Sandeep Narain, Senior Vice President and Country Head, Bahrain, notes that the business remains measured in its outlook while staying focused on customers. “Overall, we remain cautiously optimistic,” he says, adding that the Group is closely monitoring regional developments while maintaining its commitment to value and reliability.
Across the festive period, operations were supported by strengthened inventory management and calibrated staffing, with close coordination between retail and online fulfilment.
This approach, Mr. Narain explains, was central to maintaining consistency. “Our priority was ensuring stable and reliable operations across all channels,” he says. “Our integrated approach helped provide a smooth and dependable experience for customers.”
Shifts in purchasing behaviour have prompted a more deliberate retail response. With customers becoming increasingly value-conscious, the Group is refining assortments and managing inventory with greater precision to remain aligned with demand.
“As we move forward, we are taking a measured approach by closely tracking customer sentiment and refining assortments,”

Alongside operations, the Group continues to align with relevant guidance while maintaining a focus on internal communication and team readiness.
This has also extended into community initiatives, including an Eid shopping experience for children in partnership with a local orphan society, as well as clothing donations to charitable organisations across Bahrain.
Mr. Narain reinforces confidence in the broader environment. “We remain confident in Bahrain’s resilience and the strength of its leadership,” he says, pointing to the Kingdom’s continued path towards growth and stability.
