CaliBurger has signed a franchise agreement to begin operations of CaliBurger restaurants in Kuwait and Iraq. The franchisee, Ali Hashem, will have rights to open multiple units in Kuwait and serve as the master franchisee for Iraq.
“Burger concepts in Kuwait are experiencing very high sales, and Iraq represents a tremendous future growth opportunity,” said Rick DeMarco, Chief Operating Officer of CaliBurger.
CaliBurger expects to execute additional international franchise agreements in the near future. “Our strategy is to open company-owned and company-controlled restaurants in China and the United States,” said John Miller, chairman of the CaliBurger board of directors. “Through our franchising development partner, Fransmart, we are seeing tremendous demand for international franchise agreements. We will carefully select our franchise partners and support them through a dedicated international franchise support team.”
