Please try againThe first MADO in Libya, a flagship of more than 1,000 sq m in Al-Hawari, Benghazi, in an Alushibe-owned property, opens in Q1 2027. A second location will anchor District Mall, Alushibe’s 53,000 sq m development in Benghazi and Libya’s largest open-air mall (25,000 sq m gross leasable area), opening in 2028.The 12 brands, spanning coffee, bakery, casual dining and quick-service restaurants, will enter the division’s platform of three shopping malls, three hotels and more than 215 stores across Libya, totalling more than 2.15 million sq ft.“Türkiye is among Libya’s most important trading partners. The next chapter will be written by private groups able to carry international brands into Libya at international standards. We have spent decades building that capacity: the destinations, the operating discipline and the capital. MADO earned its name over 176 years in Kahramanmaraş. Libyan teams will deliver it, because the measure of this programme is not only what Libyans can buy, but what Libyans can build,” said Ahmed Gadalla. The first phase creates 350 jobs across café operations, supply chain and management, with Libyan teams trained to MADO’s standards before each opening.About Alushibe Holding GroupAlushibe Holding Group is a diversified group headquartered in Benghazi, Libya, with an office in Dubai.
