The UAE-headquartered brand has announced that it will open 10 new outlets within a year, doubling its footprint to 50 stores in total within five years.
The gourmet restaurant, patisserie, baker and artisan cheese brand has announced plans to open new locations across the Middle East, with 16 new stores planned for Saudi Arabia over the next five years. The brand intends to increase the number of its regional outlets from 23 to 33 in the next 12 months alone. After this expansion period, the brand will have 24 outlets across the UAE as well as three each in Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Egypt.
According to Yunib Siddiqui, CEO and Owner of Jones the Grocer, Saudi Arabia is an important market for the brand as it remains a regional economic powerhouse in the Middle East region.
He commented: “Recent changes in the regulatory environment have resulted in a significant uptick in domestic demand for food and beverage. There are many new and fantastic developments being constructed giving quality food retailers like us the opportunity to really showcase the best of what we can do.”
