Arby’s Sandwich Lineup

Arby’s, a leading restaurant brand in the United States that specializes in high-quality meat stacks, has announced an exclusive development agreement with Shahia Foods Limited Company for significant expansion across the KSA. The first restaurant is slated to open in late 2022. This agreement marks the brand’s first venture in Saudi Arabia and the largest expansion into the Middle East to date.

Shahia Foods Limited Company is one of the region’s premier multi-unit restaurant operators and the master licensee for Dunkin’ in Saudi Arabia and Bahrain. Shahia Foods operates more than 500 Dunkin’ locations across Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Germany, with plans for continued development across all markets.

“We are thrilled to expand our strong relationship with Shahia Foods to bring Arby’s premium meat stacks to guests across Saudi Arabia,” said Michael Haley, president and managing director of International for Inspire Brands. “As a fast-growing region with the potential for hundreds of Arby’s locations, the Middle East is an important cornerstone in the next chapter of the brand’s global expansion. We are confident in Arby’s runway for continued growth across the region and beyond.”

Arby’s Fast Crafted guest experience combines a unique blend of quick-service with the quality and made-for-you care of fast-casual dining. Arby’s menu offers a wide variety of proteins – from tender roast beef sliced to order to beef brisket smoked for many hours over wood fire.

“Arby’s differentiated market positioning and convenient guest experience are a perfect complement to our thriving Dunkin’ business,” said Saud Abdullah Al Athel, CEO of Shahia Foods Limited Company. “With a wide variety of delicious meat stacks served fresh every day, the brand is uniquely positioned to meet local preferences and will resonate strongly with Saudi guests.”

Arby’s currently operates more than 3,500 restaurants globally, including more than 150 locations across Canada, Mexico, Turkey, South Korea, Japan and Egypt.
