The Dubai-based ice cream start-up, which only opened in October 2020, is now looking to expand to three GCC countries and India.
Founded by Vikas Attri, former Chief Executive Officer of Lifestyle and Enrico Clementi, another Dubai-based F&B veteran, Pedalo Gelato was launched to provide a comforting food option for customers in a time of crisis. According to Attri, Italy experienced a ‘gelato boom’ post-lockdown, as it is an exceptionally popular comfort food. Following this and with this in-depth knowledge of the F&B industry, the pair founded and launched Pedalo Gelato.
Following its success, Pedalo Gelato is now ready to expand into new markets and will follow a franchise model for its proposed plans in the GCC markets.
Vikas Attri, Co-Founder of Pedalo Gelato, commented: “We are currently in the process of finalising plans for expanding our operations into some of the GCC Markets such as Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Qatar. We are also in the process of setting up a subsidiary in India, which will launch and run our ice cream business in the country.”
