In a milestone anniversary year, Rabih Fakhreddine, founder and group CEO of 7 Management, unveils the group’s ambitious expansion plans for 2025.
At 7 Management, we’ve always strived to craft unforgettable experiences, and 2025 is set to be a year where we take our passion for hospitality to new heights. With a robust history of success, we’re excited to share our ambitious expansion plans, which will see our footprint grow across the UAE, Lebanon, Europe and beyond.
Expanding horizons in Europe
Building on our success, we are proud to make a bold move into Greece with several exciting projects. After the successful debut of Bagatelle Athens in 2024, we’re now expanding further within Athens with two exciting ventures – Lucia’s and Em Sherif Café. Lucia’s, our homegrown brand, brings the essence of Capri to Athens with its seaside Italian experience, offering an authentic Mediterranean dining atmosphere. Alongside Lucia’s, Em Sherif Café, the celebrated Lebanese fine-dining brand, will enhance the city’s culinary offerings.
We’re also expanding Em Sherif to Bucharest and Budapest, further cementing our presence in Europe. Another highlight of our growth is the debut of 7 Management at Astir Beach, where we’ll elevate the luxury beach experience with our signature blend of sophistication and hospitality.
The UAE: the Cornerstone of 7 Management’s growth
The UAE remains at the heart of our operations. As we continue to expand and evolve, we’re excited about several new ventures that will further strengthen our position here. One of these is 25 Jump Street, Dubai’s first licensed street, developed in partnership with the Dubai World Trade Center. This dynamic entertainment hub will feature a range of experiential concepts, including Yubi, Dubai’s first homegrown licensed handroll bar, offering a modern Japanese dining experience that will redefine the city’s culinary landscape.
In addition to this, we’ll be opening two Em Sherif locations in Dubai, further growing the reach of our beloved Lebanese fine-dining brand. Our two homegrown brands, Seven Sisters and Antika, are also undergoing a transformation, with both venues being uplifted and relocated to provide fresh, new experiences while continuing to offer the exceptional service we’re known for. With iconic venues such as February 30, Sayf, and The Theater already in our portfolio, we remain committed to solidifying our leadership in the UAE’s hospitality sector.
Growth in Lebanon and new markets
Our roots in Lebanon continue to be a driving force behind our global vision. We’re excited to introduce new concepts and expand our existing operations in Lebanon, ensuring that we remain an integral part of the country’s vibrant hospitality scene. We’re also actively exploring opportunities in untapped markets, eager to bring our innovative approach to hospitality to new regions and create lasting impressions across the globe.
A legacy of excellence and creativity
Our success is rooted in a deep commitment to quality and creativity. At 7 Management, we combine exceptional culinary experiences with world-class entertainment to constantly push the boundaries of what hospitality can be.
As we move into this next chapter, we’re staying true to our core values while embracing the exciting possibilities that come with new markets and partnerships. Our vision for 2025 is to expand our footprint, while maintaining the passion for creating extraordinary experiences that resonate globally.
With our ambitious plans and diverse portfolio, 7 Management is ready to continue redefining the global hospitality landscape, bringing our signature experiences to even more locations than ever before.
