King Store price comparison
King Store is a regional chain, and regional chains have an advantage that national comparisons tend to hide: they compete mainly with the shops around them, so their pricing follows the local market rather than a head-office average. The comparison worth making, then, is between your branch and the branches you could realistically reach.
Where the chain came from
The chain is registered as Almashhadawi King Store and was founded in 2007. As of 2023 it has about 22 branches, eleven of them in the north, and in 2022 it appeared on the Competition Authority's list of large retailers.
How the prices reach us
This chain publishes its branch prices on a shared price-publication site, where most of the publications we read also sit. The price shown is the last one we have read for the branch you picked.

What you can do in the app
- Prices are published branch by branch, so two branches of one chain need not charge the same.
- Scan in the aisle and see what the branch you are standing in charges.
- The list keeps working where the shop has no signal, and syncs when it returns.

Common questions
How do I choose a branch in the app?
Find the stores near you by location, pick the one you are in, and the prices follow it.
What if there is no price for the product I scanned?
If the product was not published on that branch's list, we say there is no price. We do not show an estimate.
