Dunkin’, one of the world’s leading coffee and bakery brands, has begun operations in Muscat City at the Mall of Oman. Galadari Brothers Group, a leading UAE-based conglomerate, has partnered with Inspire Brands to launch Dunkin’ outlets in the Sultanate of Oman.
Featuring a lineup of high-quality coffee, handcrafted espresso drinks, and delicious donuts, the new outlet will be owned and operated by franchisee Galadari Food and Beverage Division, a major multi-brand restaurant operator in the Middle East and experienced Dunkin’ and Baskin-Robbins franchisee. In celebration of the grand opening, Dunkin’ offered the first 100 guests free coffee and donuts for 100 days.
Galadari Brothers Group currently operates more than 1000 restaurants of international food and beverage brands including Baskin-Robbins, Dunkin’, Kyochon and Shabestan in Middle East and North Africa (Mena) region and Australia. The new expansion with Inspire Brands, a multi-brand restaurant company with a portfolio of nearly 32,000 restaurants worldwide, is expected to further grow the group’s presence in Oman and the region.

“We are proud to be strengthening our partnership with Inspire Brands and bringing a new offering to Oman. Our customers in the country will be able to experience our best-in-class products and services, and we intend on aggressive expansion in the country as we continue on our steady growth trajectory across the region.”

Dunkin’ is already a fan favourite throughout the Middle East, fuelling millions of guests with delicious coffee and baked goods both in our restaurants and on the go.
