The American global coffee and doughnut company has become a household name in the UAE, since its first outlet opened in 1997, and consolidated business in the coffee-loving nation with more than 65 stores serving a multitude of delicious doughnuts, bagels, other baked goods, and a variety of hot and iced beverages.

Owing to its ever-growing popularity and fan following, Dunkin’ Brands International and Continental Foods, the owner of the Dunkin’ franchise in the UAE, have collaborated to take the Dunkin’ experience to the next level with the introduction of a first-of-its-kind café concept not just in the UAE, but the larger Arab region.  The first Dunkin’ Café was inaugurated today (Wednesday) at Sharjah’s popular lakeside leisure destination, the Al Majaz Waterfront.

Highlighting the collaborative efforts of the parent brand with its regional business partners as being instrumental in Dunkin’s popularity and success, Sheikh Mohammed Saud Sultan Saqer Al Qasimi said: “The launch of the first Dunkin’ Café in the region is simply a response to the needs of our loyal patrons and consumer requests. With each passing year of our service to our clients, the overarching feedback was that they wanted to spend more quality time at Dunkin’, and desired for it to be a space that bears greater resemblance to a coffeehouse where they can spend hours alone with a coffee and a book, bring their clients for a meeting, their children for a weekend treat or their friends for a late-night coffee and dessert. Elevating customer satisfaction and experience have always been a topmost priority for Continental Foods, and the launch of this café bears testimony to our efforts.”
