Cravia

Cravia Group was established in 2001 by Walid Hajj. From the humble beginning of the Cinnabon outlet in Abu Dhabi mall, the company has grown to become one of the fastest growing F&B companies in the region with presence that now extends to Bahrain, Saudi Arabia and Qatar, as well as across the UAE. In a little over a decade, the company has expanded its presence across the MENA region, operating over 85 restaurants with more than 1,500 employees. Its millions of customers enjoy world-famous franchises such as Cinnabon, Seattle's Best Coffee, Carvel and Zaatar w Zeit. The company has also recently added Five Guys - the number one "Better-Burger" brand in America - to its ever-expanding portfolio, by securing the U.S. chain's franchises for Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Qatar. Cravia has attained a number of global awards in recognition of the company's exceptional franchise operational management standards. In addition, Cravia forms part of a case-study program offered to students at the prestigious Harvard University. Working alongside a team of carefully selected individuals, Cravia continues to infuse passion into every aspect of the business, making it one of the foremost F&B operators in the Middle East.
