Jumbo S.A. is a Greek based retail company whose principal activity is the distribution of children's toys, baby items, stationery, seasonal products and home items.

Even though Jumbo started in the mid-1980s exclusively as a toy and console games chain, since the early to mid-2000s, Jumbo changed direction towards everyday products targeted for the whole family.

Jumbo has 41 stores in the Greek market (it is the nation's largest retailer in the field)[2] and it also operates in Cyprus, Bulgaria, Republic of Macedonia and from the beginning of August 2006, in Romania.
