History

Gray Mackenzie Retail Lebanon S.A.L was established in 1996, as a pacesetter in the ownership and operation of supermarkets and hypermarkets in lebanon.

Gray Mackenzie (GMRL) owns Spinneys, the leading multinational supermarket chain which made its comeback in 1996, 23 years after shutting down its operations due to the civil war.

In 2014, GMRL introduced the Happy Discount Store, an innovative retail concept, which has today grown into a popular discount store brand.

GMRL acquired the Grab’n Go Convenience Stores in 2018, and presently operates a large chain of small branches of the local convenience store concept.

In 2019, the group has started expanding its business with the opening of three new divisions, Mackenzie Distribution, Mackenzie F&B and Mackenzie Production.
