The Al Zaman Group of Companies has signed up to bring American hamburger giant Fuddruckers in the Sultanate further expanding its activities. The deal comes close on the heels of the Group including top-end Indus restaurant in its roster and signing the opening of Caramel Restaurant and Lounge in Oman.
Mr Khalid Zaman, Director, Al Zaman Group of Companies, is happy as he elaborates: "Hospitality is one of the areas where Al Zaman Group wants to expand significantly as we strongly believe that a robust and successful hospitality sector is very important for national progress and global recognition. Fuddruckers is a unique restaurant - though hamburger is its signature, its engaging menu offers variety for many tastes and likings with an array of sandwiches, platters and salads, all based on the principal of 'Freshly Prepared, Best Ingredients and Prepared as the Customer Wants.' World over, this casual dining restaurant is also known for its fun and relaxed family-orientated dining experience. Moreover, in this region, Fuddruckers has changed its menu and tastes to a great extent according to the local milieu. This explains why this chain is doing extremely well in this part of the globe. We are truly honored to bring Fuddruckers to Oman, with its first outlet coming up soon in Qurum, in the heart of Muscat city".
Mr. Othman Kolaghassi (Managing Director "Fuddruckers"), expresses his joy: "We are thrilled to be expanding in the Middle East region and look forward to becoming an integral part of the Omani social circles. Fuddruckers is known for its hamburgers but to many it may be a surprise, that Fuddruckers' most popular dish is the Dynamite Shrimp - a recipe par excellence that has been especially selected by Sheikh Saleh - the franchisee owner of Fuddruckers in Arabia. We are very excited to start our outlet in Oman and want to thank the Al Zaman Group for their support and look forward to a long-standing fruitful association".
The first Fuddruckers Restaurant was established in 1980 by Phil Romano to cater to discerning gourmets who were concerned about the quality of burger, its ingredients and the way it was cooked. The Fuddruckers Burger was thus created and it came to be known as the "World's Greatest Burger" with 100% pure quality freshly ground beef, cooked according to individual requests and served up in a freshly baked bun resulting in a juicy and delicious Burger. An additional feature is the Toppings Bar which allows the customer to create the ultimate burger, exactly the way he or she wants. Even today the original concept is the benchmark of the renowned Fuddruckers Burger.
