Saudi Arabia’s beloved fast-food chain, Al Baik, is set to make its highly anticipated debut in Pakistan. A memorandum of understanding (MoU) has been signed between Al Baik and Gas and Oil Pakistan Ltd (Go) under the auspices of the Saudi Ministry of Investment.
Known for its crispy broasted chicken, fries, delectable nuggets, and a variety of sauces, Al Baik has garnered a massive following in Saudi Arabia and beyond. Pakistani expatriates often consider a visit to Saudi Arabia incomplete without indulging in the chain’s signature dishes.
Reflecting Saudi Vision 2030’s goal to enhance exports of national expertise and expand Saudi commercial reach globally, this agreement paves the way for a strategic partnership to establish and operate Al Baik restaurants across Pakistan. This marks a significant step in Al Baik’s expansion strategy.
The signing ceremony was held under the patronage of the Saudi Minister of Investment, Engineer Khalid Al-Falih, with high-ranking delegations from both Saudi Arabia and Pakistan in attendance.
This event is a direct result of the Saudi Ministry of Investment’s persistent efforts to empower Saudi brands to expand internationally and elevate the kingdom’s standing in the global economic landscape.
Gas and Oil Pakistan Ltd (Go), in which Saudi Aramco has acquired a 40% stake, is a leading player in Pakistan’s oil and gas sector. This partnership underscores Saudi Arabia’s commitment to diversifying its economy and creating new growth opportunities in foreign markets.
This initiative highlights the pivotal role played by the Saudi Ministry of Investment in realizing the objectives of Vision 2030 and reinforcing the kingdom’s position as a leading economic force both regionally and globally.
