‘Digital-first’ coffee brand Drinkit is opening five new venues in Dubai before the end of 2024.
The new coffee shops will launch in JLT Cluster T, Golden Mile Galleria 1 on The Palm, and Mirdif City Centre Mall, with the final two locations to be announced.
“The introduction of these five new locations marks a significant milestone in our expansion within the UAE [United Arab Emirates] and mirrors the rising demand for fast, superior coffee options across the Emirates,” says Katerina Borodich, Drinkit CEO.
“We are thrilled to extend our range of exceptional beverages and state-of-the-art technology to more neighbourhoods, revolutionising the coffee culture in the UAE. By enhancing the coffee experience with these technologies, convenience and quality, we’re committed to enriching the daily lives of UAE residents, making their daily routines easier.”
The new venues will offer a diverse menu of over 60 beverages crafted from locally sourced ingredients, including signature drinks and specialty coffees. Orders are placed using the Drinkit mobile app, promising to deliver drinks in three minutes.
Drinkit was founded in 2016 and was acquired by foodservice group Dodo Brands in 2020. It has since expanded to launch more than 30 coffee shops across three countries and five cities, including Dubai, Moscow, and Astana. The company operates physical coffee shops where traditional cash areas have been replaced by a self-developed ordering system, run on in-store kiosks and mobile application. Around 90 per cent of the chain’s orders are placed online.
