MUSCAT : Founded by Issa bin Saleh Al Aghbari in 2021 in the Wilayat of Seeb in Muscat Governorate, the brand has quickly crossed borders, securing franchise agreements in Iraq, Pakistan, and India, with ambitious plans for further international growth.

This success story highlights the increasing trend of young Omanis turning their passions into viable commercial ventures, contributing to the Sultanate’s economic diversification.

Seven Fries, a testament to this trend, has seen remarkable growth, opening three branches in Muscat and Dhofar Governorates within two years. It has gained widespread attention and was selected from over 300 Omani brands to participate in the Oman Chamber of Commerce and Industry’s franchise program. This selection led to a formal agreement with the Chamber to further develop the brand.

In 2024, Al Aghbari signed his first commercial franchise contract in Al Amerat, Muscat Governorate. This year, the brand expanded its reach with another franchise contract in Ibri, Al Dhahirah Governorate.

Internationally, ‘Seven Fries’ has extended its footprint with commercial franchises in Erbil (Kurdistan Region), Baghdad (Iraq), Islamabad (Pakistan), and an exclusive contract in India.

Issa Al Aghbari revealed plans to open 300 branches in India, recognising the country as one of the largest global markets. He also noted numerous inquiries for franchise agreements in other global markets, particularly the United States.
