Our STORY

Every Yala Lebanese Human Energy is here to brighten up your day and give you the friendliest experience.

You will always find a warm welcoming smile at any time, delicious fresh sandwiches with local flavors and all your groceries needs.
It all started in 1992 when MEDCO’s CEO, Raymond Chammas, decided to bring back the convenience store concept from the States even though many questioned his aim to “make drivers and neighbors lives easier”

So we thought Yala let’s open! This is how Calmart Sin El Fil was inaugurated in 1992 and how Lebanon’s first Convenience store was born. CAL standing for CALTEX and MART for market.

Year after year, the convenience store concept grew in success and in 1993, Calmart Saint Rita was inaugurated followed by Medmart Dora in 1994. MED standing for MEDCO and Mart for market.
In 2017, MEDCO merged the two brands to create one single brand called Yala Stop.
