Pizza Inn inks deal with Dubai-based Azalea Investment to expand into Qatar from March 2022.
US-based Pizza Inn has signed an international development agreement to open a number of new pizzerias in Qatar.
The deal with principal master licensee Walid Haider, Chairman of Azalea Investment in Dubai, will see five Pizza Inn stores opening, with the first set to open in Doha in March 2022. The agreement also includes the option to open additional stores in the country. Founded in 1958, Pizza Inn is a subsidiary of RAVE Restaurant Group, based in Dallas.
“RAVE is excited for Walid to help expand Pizza Inn’s presence in the Middle East. Once these five new stores open, Pizza Inn will have 37 international locations across the globe,” said RAVE Restaurant Group’s President and CEO, Brandon Solano. “I look forward to bringing this iconic pizza brand to Qatar,” added Haider. “Pizza Inn’s house-made dough and fresh, quality ingredients will be a favorite destination for people living in these communities. I am thrilled by this opportunity to establish and grow Pizza Inn in this region.”
