      <title>Dubai’s BonBird set to open first outlet in Lahore</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/330377542/dubais-bonbird-set-to-open-first-outlet-in-lahore</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A Dubai-based fried chicken restaurant, BonBird, is set to launch its first outlet in Pakistan this December, with plans for 12 locations across the country, &lt;em&gt;Arab News&lt;/em&gt; reported.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This announcement was made by a managing director of the local franchise partner on Monday.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In June, Yolk Brands, the parent company of BonBird and an award-winning hospitality group based in Dubai, revealed its partnership with Eat Brands, which operates ventures in Pakistan, including the Canadian breakfast chain Eggspectation and Cue Cinemas.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;BonBird offers an American-style dining experience. The menu features buckets of crispy fried chicken, melts, rice bowls, chicken burgers, and wraps, as reported by The Caterer, a UK business magazine focused on the hospitality industry.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Eat Brands has secured exclusive rights to launch BonBird restaurants in Pakistan, with the first outlet set to open in Lahore in December 2024, according to founder Zarrar Mustapha.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Mustapha stated that Eat Brands is the sole investor for BonBird in Pakistan, with an anticipated investment exceeding $5 million during this period.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He emphasized that BonBird aims to compete with major players in Pakistan’s fast-food sector by prioritising “quality and excellence in customer service.” Mustapha also noted that BonBird will be the “first quick-service restaurant chain” from the UAE and GCC to enter the Pakistani market.&lt;/p&gt;
