ICONS Coffee Couture, a forward thinking and health conscious lifestyle coffeeshop chain, is looking at continuing its growth in the Middle East through its recently signed partnership with ABL Company. ICONS also offers a range of food preferences such as vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and sugar-free solution.

Presently, the coffee-and-cakes concept is looking at an expansion across Kuwait with six branches, and the total number of franchises open in the GCC of the brand will amount to 40 by 2020.

The brand is also looking at a 10 company-owned store expansion in the United Arab Emirates within the next six months, of which the newest Icons Branch just opened its doors this month at Manar Mall, Ras Al Khaimah. The other GCC Countries are in partnership successfully already and will count a number of 40 stores within the coming years.

The chain is now available in six countries and counting, including UAE, Qatar, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Oman and Austria.

Elena Weber, founder and managing director, said: “We are blessed to be attracting amazing partners worldwide to build something bigger than ourselves. It is wonderful to be able to impact communities for the better around the globe. We acknowledge the responsibility we have and continuously strive on being the best partner we can be and uplift our Icons Branches to be welcoming, empowering and nourishing, yet fun to be at!”
