Buns, a Fujairah-based burger chain, plans to open its first permanent branch later in 2021 after the successful debut as a pop-up location earlier this year. Although the UAEs fast-food market is currently led by the usual big-name brands, Buns hopes to soon make its mark on the sector by offering customers a range of high-quality, locally-produced fast-food options.

Our vision is simple: we want to provide residents and visitors to Fujairah with delicious and healthy burgers made from only the finest, freshest ingredients. We believe the UAE has what it takes to launch its own burger brand capable of competing with the multinational chains that have long been synonymous with fast food. said Abdullah Taleb, Buns General Manager.

Overwhelmingly Positive Customer Feedback

In February, local residents got their first taste of Buns burgers at a pop-up location set up outside the historic Fujairah Fort. Based on the overwhelmingly positive feedback from satisfied customers, the team soon decided to open a permanent branch in Fujairah, located on the Fujairah Corniche.

Buns range of burgers and side-dishes are now available for home delivery in Fujairah through the popular Talabat mobile-phone app. Whats more, Buns plans to replicate the success of the Winter Carnival pop-up with other special events and activities.

Our burgers typically sell out almost immediately. This is largely due to the fact that we use only the freshest, highest-quality ingredients including 100% brisket beef to make our signature hamburgers. This is an advantage we have over our big-name rivals, most of whom import their ingredients from abroad at the expense of freshness. said Taleb.

Ambitious Plans for Expansion

While Buns is presently focusing on the Fujairah market, project managers hope to expand the burger chains reach across the UAE and, eventually, beyond. This way, they aim to highlight the countrys wealth of capabilities and resources and those of Fujairah in particular.

Adding on Taleb says Buns represents the culmination of core Emirati values: determination, hard work, and fine attention to detail. And with values like these, we expect to soon take the local fast-food market by storm.
