Ahmed Saleh, Founder, 3Fils
Three restaurants to be added to its portfolio by the beginning of next year as 3Fils reveals 2023 expansion plans. The home-grown brand that’s part of The Lab Holding was established to create new experiences and concepts, and in fact, launched a chef-powered marketplace called Meelz.
In an exclusive interview with RetailME founder Ahmed Saleh talked not only about 3Fils’ expansion plans but also challenges faced.
What kind of challenges have you navigated?
Challenges are normal and part of running a business. For us supply chain and logistics have been a couple of challenges especially after Covid-19, but we’ve tackled it as a team and have come up on top.
On a bad day, where do you seek inspiration from?
It’s quite normal to have bad days. We need them to appreciate the good days. I believe we need to self-motivate and inspire ourselves for improvement in life. It’s in our nature to be and do better. Take a look at the leadership we’ve of this great nation, the history we’ve all gone through and lived so many changes in such a short period of time. All this was done to reach a new level of self and each other.
What are your expansion plans for 2023?
Our plans are to expand and spread our brands throughout the GCC and MENA region starting with three restaurants that will open towards the beginning of 2023.
