Al Khobar: China Gate restaurant chain achieved another milestone by opening their first restaurant in the Eastern province (Al Khobar). This is the fourth restaurant in Saudi Arabia and another one scheduled to open by the end of July in Jeddah which makes a total of five restaurants in the country. China Gate in Khobar was officially inaugurated by the Chairman of Arabian Entertainment Co. Ltd. (parent Company of China Gate) Sheikh Waleed Bin Mahfouz and Vice President Ahmed Marashde.

"This opening is in line with our grand expansion strategy to take China Gate chain across boundaries," said Kamran Khan, Operations Manager.

He added that this is the right time to expand our market share as the Kingdom is witnessing an economic boom and lots of other companies are also investing in this sector. "People are enjoying increased disposable income and are willing to spend more on leisure and dining out activities." Khan said that China Gate is the only established successful chain in Saudi Arabia that offers an "All You Can Eat Buffet" concept in its true sense with a wide range of oriental cuisines with a unique and elegant ambiance theme.

China Gate is also in the process of registering its name in the MENA region and is eyeing regional expansion in the coming years.
