About the owner: Majid Al Futtaim
Majid Al Futtaim is a privately held company headquartered in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Brandtree records 7 brands under its control.
Majid Al Futtaim is a privately held Emirati group that builds and runs shopping malls, communities and hotels and then operates much of the retail and leisure business inside them.

A good deal of what shoppers see under its roofs carries names it does not own: its hypermarkets trade as Carrefour under a franchise that charges it a fee on every sale.
