Following another successful back-to-school season, ZAKS Uniforms has announced the next phase of its regional growth strategy.
The company currently operates 23 stores and plans to open five additional locations over the next 16 months, strengthening its presence in existing markets, including the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, while exploring further opportunities across Kuwait, Jordan and Egypt.
Headquartered in Canada and supported by more than 30 years of schoolwear expertise, ZAKS has established itself as a trusted uniform partner to schools, students and families across the GCC. Its expanding retail network is complemented by a strong online platform and long-standing partnerships with educational institutions across the region.
Bringing Schoolwear And Essentials Together
Beyond retail, manufacturing remains one of ZAKS’ core strengths. Through equity ownership across its complete supply chain, the company maintains direct oversight of production, enabling consistent quality control, faster turnaround times and reliable delivery.
By combining international expertise with an understanding of regional requirements, ZAKS creates schoolwear collections that reflect each institution’s identity while prioritising comfort, durability, consistency and long-term availability.
For families, ZAKS offers school-approved uniforms, professional fitting assistance and made-to-measure services. Its growing portfolio also includes SMITHS Kids lunch boxes, lunch bags and water bottles, ORSO sportswear, GFORCE sportswear and teamwear, Buckle Up school shoes, accessories and other everyday school essentials.
By bringing uniforms, footwear, sportswear and practical school essentials together, ZAKS aims to simplify the back-to-school journey while delivering a consistent standard of quality, convenience and dependable service.
Growing Closer To Schools And Families
Mahir Ali, Chief Operating Officer of ZAKS Uniforms said,
“Our regional growth reflects our commitment to being closer to the schools and families we serve. With 23 stores currently operating and five additional openings planned over the next 16 months, we are building a stronger and more accessible regional network.”
Supporting Schools With End-To-End Uniform Solutions
ZAKS’ capabilities extend beyond retail. For schools and education groups seeking to establish or strengthen their uniform programmes, the company provides an end-to-end solution, from developing distinctive design concepts and proposing fabrics suited to the region’s climate to establishing a reliable and scalable supply chain for faster delivery and consistent quality.
