FIVE GUYS BAHRAIN – OPENING

On 18th of April 2018, Cravia launched its first Five Guys branch at the Avenues Mall in Bahrain. Upon the arrival of Mr. Walid Hajj and his family, the American Ambassador, and other VIPs, the ribbon was cut to announce the official inauguration of Five Guys.

Mr. Walid shared his pride with each member of the Five Guys staff and held a raffle that resulted in four lucky employees going home with the new iPhone X.

Soon afterward, the branch welcomed its first burger enthusiasts, who were anxiously waiting to experience the best burgers, fries and milkshakes in Bahrain.

Cravia strives to ensure that all its customers enjoy exceptional service while savouring the best burgers in the Kingdom. For burger enthusiasts who can’t get enough of Five Guys, additional branches will be opening in Bahrain by the end of the year.

delivery services and provided all the offices with a 15% discount on their first delivery orders.

The third activity was the ‘CinnaSurprise’ initiative, in which Cinnabon UAE surprised its fans by sending them a small gift from the team!
