Gaining Momentum

Alaidaroos is a well-established Saudi retail and manufacturing entity (est. 1960s) with significant historical revenue (SAR 200M in 2014) and strong regional physical presence. However, the submission represents a traditional brick-and-mortar business with minimal digital/technical innovation. The reliance on 2014 data, lack of modern digital traction evidence, and poor submission quality (copy-pasted description, vague claims) significantly dampen the score despite the high verified business scale.
