Al Gosaibi & Bros. or AHAB or Al Gosaibi Group), a large diversified family owned Saudi business group, was formed by Hamad Ahmad Al Gosaibi in the late 1940s as a trading company offering money exchange services in the growing coastal town of Al Khobar. His three sons, Ahmad, Abdulaziz and Sulaiman (all three are deceased), came together to establish “Ahmad Hamad Algosaibi and Bros.” also known as AHAB. The company later grew to become one of the most important private companies in the kingdom having a well-known and special brand. The company expanded its operations to include the world's most lucrative Pepsi Cola bottling franchises, oilfield services for oil giant Aramco, Real Estate, Hospitality, Food & Beverages and investments in Banking, Insurance, Shipping, Trading, Finance,  and Manufacturing, reorganizing it into a holding company and, in the process, built it into among the most respected business houses in the Middle East.
