Nahdi Medical Company, Saudi Arabia’s largest retail pharmacy chain and leading healthcare provider announced the launch of the Kingdom’s largest Nahdi flagship pharmacy in Riyadh, Olaya District on King Fahad Road, near to Tahlia Street. This comes as a strategic move towards bigger store formats allowing for an elevated retail experience and further cementing Nahdi’s promise of always placing its guests at the heart of every decision, fueling consistent innovation at Nahdi.
