# Retail chains headquartered in Jordan

Tamtam tracks 54 retail chains headquartered in Jordan. This list ranks the 50 largest by number of employees on LinkedIn, led by Arab Bank, The Saudi National Bank - SNB and Royal Jordanian. Their median headcount is 496. Half of them were founded in 1992 or later.

The companies listed are primarily large financial institutions and telecommunications providers based in Jordan, with a strong concentration in Amman. Key players include Arab Bank, a diverse financial services provider; Royal Jordanian, the national airline; Umniah, a telecommunications provider; and TESCO, specializing in office equipment. Most of these companies were founded between the 1930s and the 1970s, indicating established operations.

A notable pattern is the prevalence of banking institutions headquartered in Amman, such as Housing Bank, Bank of Jordan, and Bank al Etihad, alongside several other major banks. This suggests a well-developed and centralized financial sector within the country.

## How this list is built

Every company on this list has a Tamtam company profile. The industry is the one the company gives on LinkedIn; categories such as SaaS or fintech are classified by Tamtam's AI from the company's website and LinkedIn page; and the headquarters city must match the company's own address. Companies are ranked by the number of employees on LinkedIn, and the list is refreshed every night. Classifications can be wrong, so treat the list as a starting point rather than an official ranking. Last updated Nov 12, 2026.
