Duck Donuts has announced the continuation of its international expansion with the signing of a new master franchise agreement with Masters Food, awarding the rights to develop and sub franchise in Egypt. Master Foods is set to open 25 locations throughout Egypt over the next five years, with the first location expected to open later in 2021 in Cairo Festival City, a mixed-use urban community located east of the ring road in the heart of New Cairo.

“We are very excited to announce our expansion to Egypt and enter into this partnership with Master Foods, a group who is eager and ready to integrate the Duck Donuts brand within a country filled with rich history,” says Betsy Hamm, chief executive officer of Duck Donuts. “Not only are Egyptians always looking to try something new, especially desserts, but the culture has a strong focus on family values, which aligns perfectly with our brand.”

“I discovered Duck Donuts in Dubai and instantly knew this unique brand and made-to-order experience would make a great fit within the Egyptian culture that appreciates high-quality foods,” says Ahmed Sabat, Duck Donuts Egypt co-owner. “Duck Donuts will land in the heart of Cairo and soon we will be able to sprinkle a taste of happiness to those throughout Egypt.”

Currently, Duck Donuts operates in 105 locations across 22 states and one international location in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
