BurgerFi planting flag in Kuwait

May 5, 2016

BurgerFi has reached a multi-unit development deal to open at least eight units in Kuwait under the direction of CEO Abdullah Ajrash of Austrian Business Development Group, according to a company press release.

The first BurgerFi restaurant will open at the Arabella Shopping Center and will continue to embrace the brand’s "Burgerfication of the World" motto by adhering to its Never Ever program policy, only selling burgers that are steroid, antibiotic and growth hormone-free, without any chemicals or additives, said Corey Winograd, CEO.

"We welcome our new associates and are happy to have reached an eight-location agreement with one of Kuwait’s most selective partners, to propel our brand internationally in the State of Kuwait," he said.

Upholding local standards and traditions, Kuwait BurgerFis will strictly use Halal-Certified meat and will not serve alcohol, Winograd said. The Kuwait locations will feature an environmentally friendly design with chairs made from recycled Coca-Cola bottles, tables from compressed recycled wood and ceiling fans that conserve electricity.

"We are confident that BurgerFi's fresh, all natural, hormone-free gourmet burgers and menu items will resonate quickly within our local communities," Ajrash said.
