Notes to the editor:
In 1880’s, Khalil Warde established a business of furnishing fabrics in Damascus. In 1924, Khalil Warde inaugurated his second outlet in Allenby Street in Beirut’s Central District, when the family decided to move to Beirut.
Warde prospered there and became, with remarkable speed, a reference name associated with delicately woven fabrics and exclusively refined products. The Warde family was quick to adjust to this new trend, setting up a third outlet in Hamra Street in 1970, thanks to the concerted efforts of brothers Joe, Gabriel and Pierre.
The spread and success of Warde went on unrivalled during 1990’s and through to the present day. A direct consequence of Warde’s growing clientele was the expansion of the Hazmieh outlet at the onset of 1990’s, followed by a resizing of the showrooms in the Hamra and Zahle outlets. These were doubled in order to make way for new products and services.
In 2004, a new dimension was added to Warde’s forward momentum; as the company went on to open a new outlet on the site of its initial location, Beirut Central District.
Warde also has branches in Zalka, Tripoli, Tyre and Sidon, Achrafieh in addition to its newly-opened Ghazir branch.
