Via Muhammad Ali Syed in qsrmagazine.com: According to Mingora’s Food Panel 2024 data of top 30 KSA QSRs, Saudi brands outnumber American by 15 to 13. Outside of the top 30, local brands dominate the SAR 66.6bn (USD 17.7bn) Saudi fast-food market. Back in 2004, only 5 or 6 Saudi chains would show up in top 30. Large Saudi chains such as Maestro Pizza, Burgerizzr, Shawarmer and Sultan Delight Burger either didn’t even exit at that time or had barely a few stores.
