AWJ Investments plans five openings in KSA in H1 2020
Following the successful launch of three of its brands – Operation: Falafel, Catch 22 and Awani – in Riyadh, and Operation: Falafel in Dammam and Dhahran, AWJ Investments is continuing its expansion in the Saudi market with five restaurants set to open in H1 of 2020. The decision to extend its reach in Saudi Arabia follows AWJ Investments’ earlier success in Riyadh, where openings took place in The Zone mall for Catch 22 and Awani, while Operation: Falafel enjoyed a high-profile launch in Rubeen Plaza. Expanding the reach of the much-loved Operation: Falafel concept, AWJ Investments is also working with local franchisees in the Eastern province for their restaurants in Dammam and Dhahran. Now entering a new phase of growth, AWJ Investments is set to launch its first restaurants in Jeddah, with Catch 22 scheduled to open in February, followed by Operation: Falafel (early April) and Awani later in 2020. In addition, the company will develop two more Operation: Falafel chain offerings at Ajdan Walk, Al Khobar and Alia Plaza, Riyadh in Q2 of 2020.
