Elevation Burger signs 20 restaurants in Egypt
Elevation Burger has signed a multi-unit development agreement with Essam Abu El Hassan to open 20 restaurants throughout Egypt, with the first set to open in Cairo this year.
Currently, the brand has 23 restaurants in the Middle East including Dubai, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar and Bahrain.
"We're excited to bring our organic burger concept to Egypt and expand our footprint in the Middle East," said Salman Siddiqui, CEO of Elevation Burger.
"I'm confident that Elevation Burger will be a success in Egypt and I am proud to be a part of the company's growth story," said Abu El Hassan. "We plan to open the first restaurant in Cairo later this year."
The concept was founded in 2005 and began franchising in 2008. Currently, there are more than 60 US and international locations.
The burgers are made from 100% organic, grass-fed, free-range beef and fries cooked in Bertolli olive oil. The brand also offers organic chicken, as well as vegetarian and vegan burgers.
