New Zealand-based burger chain, BurgerFuel Worldwide, has opened its first store in Kuwait with partner, Al Khayyat Investments (AKI).
BurgerFuel now has stores in several markets in the Middle East North Africa region (MENA), including the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt.
The restaurant is located in Al Bida’a, a vibrant and dynamic social hub that is considered the place to be seen by the young and affluent.
AKI operates 11 of the Dubai and Abu Dhabi BurgerFuel restaurants.
“We have received countless requests to open in Kuwait and we are proud to finally be able to bring our first BurgerFuel store to the country. This local support, and our success in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, gives us confidence that BurgerFuel will be well received in this prosperous environment,” Farah George Farah, AKI GM of food and beverage, said.
Josef Roberts, CEO of BurgerFuel Group, said “I’m very confident that our early entry into this part of the world will continue to grow and deliver strong results to the group.”
“Despite the localised turmoil that exists in parts of the Middle East, it remains a strong and vibrant market that we can continue to develop over time.”
