Like Bricks

Opening at Ibn Battuta Mall

New Store Opening

Follow How many people does it take to open one Like Bricks location? We decided to count. The answer surprised even me: 152 PEOPLE. Our new flagship Like Bricks at Ibn Battuta Mall is now open, and looking at the finished space, it is easy to forget just how many people stood behind this one project. Designers. Engineers. Contractors. Consultants. Suppliers. Manufacturers. Logistics and shipping teams. Customs and delivery teams. Installers. Movers. Technicians. Mall Management. And, of course, our own Like Bricks team. 152 people, all contributing to one final result. For months, the project existed as plans, drawings, renders, spreadsheets, samples, shipments, approvals and endless WhatsApp chats. There were hundreds of decisions, thousands of tasks, changes, challenges, deadlines and plenty of moments when someone had to find a solution — quickly. And then comes my favourite moment in every project: The email from Mall Management approving the hoarding removal. For anyone outside the project, it is just an email. For everyone involved, it is a moment of pure excitement. Phones start ringing. Messages start flying. People congratulate each other because everyone understands what those few words actually mean: We made it. We are ready to open. And suddenly, what existed on paper for months becomes a real place. Today, when I walk through our new flagship and see children playing, building, climbing, exploring and discovering our City of Bricks, I don't just see a new Like Bricks location. I see the work of 152 people behind it. A huge THANK YOU to every person who contributed — whether you were involved from the first concept or joined us for one small but important part of the journey. Every detail matters. Every contribution matters. A founder may start with an idea, but it takes a team — actually, in our case, 152 people — to turn that idea into reality. ❤️ Welcome to Like Bricks Ibn Battuta Mall. 🎉 #LikeBricks #IbnBattutaMall #Dubai #UAE #Entrepreneurship #Teamwork #ProjectManagement #BusinessGrowth #FamilyEntertainment #Retail

Mooyah

Award / Recognition at Ibn Battuta Mall

MOOYAH Burgers, Fries & Shakes voted the Best Burger in the UAE

March 24th 2014- DUBAI, UAE MOOYAH Burgers, Fries & Shakes, the fast-casual, "better burger" chain, that opened its first Middle East outlet in Dubai's Ibn Battuta Mall just over 6 months ago has been voted the Best Burger in the UAE by listeners of Virgin Radio's Kris Fade show. Other finalists for the honor were Shake Shack, Maxx Burger, Burger Fuel, and Elevation Burger. The Ibn Battuta Mall MOOYAH restaurant is the first of at least 10 restaurants to open in the UAE. AWGAL Investments is led by Chairman Abdul-Wahab Galadari. "AWGAL Investments is very proud to have MOOYAH receive this honor," said Galadari. "We believe the MOOYAH brand stands out in our highly competitive restaurant market. The great quality of the food and fun family nature of the restaurant gives MOOYAH that extra edge to make it one of the best, if not the best, among its competitors." "We look forward to bringing MOOYAH's fresh baked in house buns, real ice cream shakes, golden fries, and 100% Certified Angus beef to more consumers in the UAE," said Galadari. "In addition to developing new restaurant locations, we recently launched the 800-MOOYAH delivery service to make getting your favorite MOOYAH meal more convenient." Founded in Dallas, Texas, MOOYAH has seen tremendous growth in the last several years, expanding from a Texas brand into an emerging national player and a leader in the growing "better burger" segment of fast-casual dining. MOOYAH is rapidly growing in the Middle East with restaurants operating or soon to open in the UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Qatar. AWGAL Investments will be continuing MOOYAH's UAE growth with two upcoming restaurant openings in Jumeirah and Abu Dhabi. The Ibn Battuta Mall MOOYAH restaurant is the first of at least 10 restaurants to open in the UAE. AWGAL Investments is led by Chairman Abdul-Wahab Galadari. -Ends- ABOUT MOOYAH BURGERS, FRIES & SHAKES MOOYAH Burgers, Fries & Shakes is a fast-casual, "better burger" concept serving mouth-watering made-to-order burgers, French fries made from high-quality Idaho potatoes, and handcrafted 100-percent ice cream shakes. Founded in 2007, the Plano, Texas-based Company only uses the highest quality lean beef, buns baked in house, real cheeses and toppings made from garden-fresh ingredients. MOOYAH has been ranked 1st overall in Restaurant Business's 2013 Future 50 list, listed as No. 8 in Fast Casual Magazine's annual Top 100 Movers & Shakers in 2013, a list they have been at the top of for several years in a row, and Burger Business included MOOYAH in its list of "11 Burger Chains to Watch in 2011."
