SaladStop! Group, the Singapore-born healthy fast-casual brand and a pioneer of the healthy eating movement in Asia, today announced a strategic partnership with Mohamed Hareb Al Otaiba Investments (MHAOI), appointing the UAE-based investment group as its Master Franchise Partner for the United Arab Emirates. This partnership marks SaladStop!’s official entry into the Middle East, with the UAE serving as the brand’s regional gateway.

The first SaladStop! outlet in the UAE is scheduled to open in Dubai in 2026, introducing the brand’s signature range of fresh, nutritious and flavour-forward meals to one of the region’s most dynamic and health-conscious consumer markets.

Founded in Singapore, SaladStop! is a globally recognised healthy food brand with over 16 years of international operating experience. The brand is known for its uncompromising focus on product quality, made-from-scratch and built-to-order bowls, close collaboration with trusted farms, and globally inspired flavours. These offerings are supported by a technology-enabled platform designed to deliver smarter and more personalised dining experiences. With a footprint of over 80 outlets across Singapore, the Philippines, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Korea and Thailand, SaladStop! is well positioned for its next phase of international expansion, driven by the growing global shift towards healthier lifestyles.

The partnership with MHAOI reflects SaladStop! Group’s strategy of entering new markets through strong, long-term local partnerships that combine brand stewardship with operational excellence. MHAOI is a diversified UAE-based investment group with an established presence across food & beverage, FMCG and lifestyle sectors, and a proven track record in building, scaling and managing premium international brands in the region.

Under this partnership, MHAOI will lead the brand’s market entry and expansion strategy in the UAE, overseeing development, operations and local market adaptation. The rollout will focus on delivering a consistent brand experience while thoughtfully aligning with local consumer preferences, supported by integrated digital and operational systems to enhance customer convenience and engagement.

Commenting on the partnership, Adrien Desbaillets, CEO of SaladStop! Group, said:

“The Middle East has long been part of our global growth strategy, and the UAE represents a natural and strategic entry point for SaladStop!. Partnering with Mohamed Hareb Al Otaiba Investments allows us to combine our brand philosophy and international operating experience with deep local market understanding. Together, we are focused on building a meaningful, long-term presence in the UAE and establishing SaladStop! as a trusted destination for high-quality, healthier food.”

Younis Bishari, Genera Manager, Mohamed Hareb Al Otaiba Investments, added:

“We are pleased to partner with SaladStop! Group to introduce the brand to the UAE. Consumer demand for fresh, nutritious and thoughtfully prepared food continues to grow, particularly among urban professionals and business communities. SaladStop!’s strong global reputation, product integrity and scalable model align well with our long-term vision, and we look forward to building the brand’s presence across the UAE.”

As dining preferences in the Middle East continue to evolve towards more intentional and health-driven choices, SaladStop! aims to establish itself as a leading player in the fast-casual healthy food segment. The Dubai launch represents the first step in the brand’s regional journey, with future expansion opportunities across the UAE and wider region.

Mövenpick JLT Taps Family Occasions and Indoor Leisure to Drive Late-Summer Hospitality Demand

Published

on

Some months call for staying close to home, and Mövenpick JLT is leaning into that with two very different reasons to spend an evening at Cluster A. At Rohini, Raksha Bandhan becomes an excuse to slow down and share a table with family, while next door at UBK, the summer heat becomes the perfect alibi for a string of low-key, feel-good nights out that never require stepping outside.

Rohini: Sibling Stories – A Raksha Bandhan Celebration

There’s something about Raksha Bandhan that gets lost in a quick voice note or a rushed video call between siblings pulled in different directions by work and routine. Rohini is bringing the celebration back to where it belongs, around a table, over good food, with time that actually feels shared. The occasion sets the tone for a month packed with reasons to linger, from retro nights with live music to long, easy weekday lunches.

  • Sibling Stories Set Menu: AED 200 – Buy 1 Get 1 Set Menu for Brothers & Sisters | 23–30 August
  • 90’s Retro Live – Cassettes, Curry & Kulcha: AED 99 – 1 Curry, 1 Kulcha| Every Thursday, 7 PM – 11 PM
  • Tandoori Tuesdays: Veg Kebab Platter AED 89 | Chicken Kebab Platter AED 139 | Non-Veg Kebab Platter AED 199 | Every Tuesday, 5 PM – 11 PM
  • Ladies Day Out Wednesday: AED 99 – Main Course | Every Wednesday, 12 PM – 11 PM
  • Chaat & Chatter: AED 49 – 1 Tea/Coffee + 1 Food Item | Tue 5 – 7 PM, Wed – Sun 3 – 7 PM
  • Gupshup & Gulp – Ladies Kitty Party (Min. 6): AED 129 – 3-Course Set Menu with Water/Mocktail/Tea/Coffee | AED 149 – 3-Course Set Menu with Water | Tue 5 – 7 PM, Wed – Sat 12 – 7 PM

UBK: Summer’s Better Indoors Anyway

There’s no shame in admitting the heat has won this round. UBK has built an entire week around that reality, turning “let’s just stay in” into the best plan going. Whether it’s a Monday that’s really about decompressing, a Tuesday girls’ night, or a Sunday spent with pets underfoot and a pint in hand, UBK makes the case that summer indoors was never a compromise, it’s simply the better option.

Venue: Mövenpick JLT, Cluster A, Dubai
