PROJECT OVERVIEW

Beside Group's food and beverage vertical expanded significantly in 2023 with the opening of three distinct dining and hospitality concepts in Riyadh. Each concept was designed to occupy a different position in the premium casual dining market and to build Beside's presence as a lifestyle operator rather than a pure retail group.

The first concept — Fold — is a specialty coffee roastery and brew bar on Al-Urubah Road, sourcing single-origin lots from Ethiopia, Colombia, and Yemen, and offering cupping sessions and barista training workshops. The second concept — Nashwa — is a 120-cover contemporary mezze restaurant in the Diplomatic Quarter, combining Levantine culinary traditions with modern presentation. The third concept — Atelier Bread — is a 35-cover artisanal bakery and café in the Al-Malqa district.

All three venues reached profitability within their first six months of operation.
