Founded in 2009, it sells FMCG including food, household and general consumer products through a reported network of more than 5,000 stores across Iran.

Commercial and investment relevance
In the Hormuz investment graph, Kourosh Retail Industry Company connects consumer demand, grocery distribution, FMCG suppliers, warehouse logistics, retail execution, last-mile availability, and private-sector scale in modern trade. It is useful for screening retail-channel access, supplier onboarding, distribution capacity, inflation-sensitive purchasing behavior, and the operational depth of Iran’s supermarket ecosystem. Commercial use should verify legal identity, relationship with Ofogh Kourosh and Golrang entities, ownership, active store or logistics assets, website, licenses, and counterparty reliability before reliance. For FMCG suppliers, Ofogh Kourosh represents a nationwide supermarket channel with broad reach beyond major cities, including reported operations in 278 villages. Its discount positioning and stated distribution-fleet scale make it relevant to discussions of product placement, replenishment and consumer-goods distribution. Commercial counterparties should still validate current procurement processes, store coverage and contractual requirements directly.
Constraints, risk & compliance
Key risks and constraints
Store and employee totals relate to a 2021–2025 development phase rather than a single dated disclosure, so current operating scale should be confirmed for time-sensitive decisions.
