The 10-year agreement will enable Dunkin’ to expand its 55-store footprint in the North African country
Inspire Brands and Riyadh-based QSR franchise group Alamar Foods Company have announced a 10-year renewal of their Dunkin’ license agreement in Egypt.
Alamar became Dunkin’s franchise partner in Egypt in 2015 and opened its first store in Cairo in October of the same year.
The franchise group currently operates 55 licensed Dunkin’ in Egypt alongside a further eight in Morocco – where it launched the US coffee chain in July 2021. Alamar also operates more than 600 Domino’s fast-food restaurants across the Middle East
“We are thrilled to announce the renewal of our franchise contract with Inspire Brands for another 10 years. This renewed commitment to Dunkin’ Egypt combines Inspire’s global expertise with Alamar’s dedication to driving the brand’s expansion and success in Egypt. Together, we will unlock new opportunities for our customers, associates and partners while further Dunkin’s footprint in Egypt,” an Alamar spokesperson said.
Dunkin’ is the second largest branded coffee chain across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region with more than 1,000 outlets across nine markets – behind fellow US chain Starbucks which operates 1,300 stores across 10 MENA countries.
Egypt is the fifth largest branded coffee shop market by outlets across the MENA region, with more than 760 stores. World Coffee Portal’s Project Café Middle East 2025 report forecasts the market, currently led by Starbucks and domestic operator Cilantro, will surpass 1,000 outlets in 2028.
