MELVILLE, N.Y. - Sbarro (www.sbarro.com), the world’s leading quick service Italian restaurant company, today announced separate international development agreements with leading franchisers in both Mexico and Egypt. Sbarro will partner with the Italian Restaurant Developers de Mexico and Egypt’s Sewedy Foods to open more than 50 new Sbarro restaurants during the next five years, including 30 locations in Mexico and 20 restaurants in Egypt. Sbarro will be the first Italian franchise in both countries to offer a broad menu that includes pizza, pastas, salads, desserts and other Italian foods. While the Mexican and Egyptian menus will mirror Sbarro’s 200-item menu in the United States, each franchiser will make adjustments to suit the likes and cultural and religious needs of their customers. Currently, Sbarro has 1,000 restaurants in 30 counties across the globe including in the United Kingdom, Puerto Rico, Canada, Russia and Israel.
“We are very excited to grow Sbarro’s international presence with 50 new locations across both Mexico and Egypt, and are proud to partner with top restaurateurs in the Italian Restaurant Developers de Mexico and Sewedy Foods,” said Peter Beaudrault, president and CEO of Sbarro. “For 50 years, Sbarro has been synonymous with delicious and authentic Italian food, both at home in the U.S. and overseas. We have an international franchise team that is among the best in the business and a concept that for decades has proven to be remarkably adaptable and successful across all continents and in virtually every world culture.”
