Americana Restaurants International Plc has launched the first carpo store in Qatar, marking the company’s entry into the premium food retail segment.
The new store is situated at Vio Dome, adjacent to Gate 6 of Villaggio Mall and offers customers a comprehensive carpo experience, including a selection of nuts, coffee, chocolates and curated gifting options. The development is significant as it establishes Americana Restaurants’ exclusive partnership with the luxury brand carpo, known for its artisanal Greek heritage.
Mohamed Alabbar, Chairman of the Board, commented: “Following its success in the UAE, carpo’s launch in Qatar marks an exciting step in its regional growth journey. Renowned for its freshly roasted nuts, handcrafted chocolates and premium coffees, carpo brings a distinctive blend of quality and craftsmanship that aligns perfectly with Qatar’s discerning consumers. Supported by Americana’s scale and deep regional expertise, we are confident carpo will become a destination brand in the market.”
Exclusive rights granted to Americana Restaurants allow for the development and operation of carpo stores in Qatar and Kuwait, with aspirations to expand further in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia. The store’s opening is positioned as a strategic move to cater to Qatar’s discerning consumer base, leveraging the strong reputation of carpo’s offerings, including freshly roasted nuts and handcrafted chocolates.
The initiative reflects Americana Restaurants’ commitment to enhancing its portfolio and introducing world-class concepts within the region.
Kostas Kontopoulos, Founder and CEO, carpo, commented: “Every new carpo destination represents far more than a new location. It is an opportunity to share the values that have guided us since day one: genuine hospitality, uncompromising quality and meaningful human connection. We are particularly excited about Doha, a city that embraces excellence and appreciates authentic experiences. Through our partnership with Americana Restaurants, we are proud to introduce the carpo experience to Qatar and look forward to becoming part of our guests’ everyday rituals and special moments.”
