Nairobi, the Kenyan capital, has come under the spotlight of UAE-based hospitality firm, Caramel Group, which wants to set up shops in the east African city before the end of this year.

Caramel is poised to open up a new Caramel Restaurant & Lounge in Nairobi towards the middle of this year, it has emerged.

The group will use this move as a springboard to the opening of other shops in other parts of the continent and the globe.

It is not clear which other capitals of the world will follow in the company’s expansion strategy. But there is talk that the company is searching for other outlets in east Africa before moving out to other regions of the world and the continent.

“We are in the advanced stages of our expansion strategy. With the successful launch of our Abu Dhabi location we can now look forward to the prominent opening in Africa,” Caramel Group founder, Mohammed Al Hashimi, told Arabian Business. ”Our long-term growth strategy will allow us to be on the constant look out for new locations around the world.”

Caramel Group has already started Mo’s in Dubai’s Citywalk. Mo’s has been described as being the second Caramel branch in Abu Dhabi and plans to open about four outlets in Dubai are afoot.
