Dubai, Sep 24: Here's some good news for foodies in Dubai. A chain of MACYS Restaurants and Confectioneries will be operational here in the coming days. The first outlet in Karama-Zomorrodah Building, Zabeel Road, near Karama Central Post Office, will be inaugurated on Wednesday, October 1 and will be open for public from October 2.
This is just the beginning. Here is the big picture. Four more outlets are expected to be operational within the next three months.
The man behind this ambitious venture is Robert D'Sa. Former managing partner of Caesars Restaurants and Confectionaries in the UAE, the man who created history with nearly 30 outlets in UAE within a span of 24 years is back in action with his own brand - MACYS, a brand that is very close to his heart. He has travelled extensively all over the globe and closely studied the taste buds of locals and expatriates which he has ingrained in his creations at MACYS. He has seen unprecedented success with the launch of every Restaurant & Confectionary store he has set up till date. This will set him apart from the rest and he will continue to carry on his own legacy.
Is it the right time for Restaurant business in Dubai? With the UAE’s GDP showing a steady growth from -4.80% in 2009 to 4% in 2013,the signs seem positive. The GDP contribution from Hotel & Restaurant Industry in UAE has been 5%. This is growing at 17% in UAE and at a higher rate than any other industry sector.
Robert D’Sa states, “I have very high expectations from MACYS. We will offer the best quality food - prepared by experienced chefs, using the best available ingredients. We are also focused on giving the highest level of personalized service. I have fine-tuned many important issues. I am ably assisted by Ryan D’Sa and Prakash Fernandes. I thank everyone for their support and patronage in the past and look forward to their visit at MACYS. We have carefully selected good locations, which are easily accessible and have plenty of parking. People always look for a change. The quality and variety is our forte. You will have plenty to select from - authentic Indian, Chinese, Iranian, Continental and Sizzlers. We also have private dining cabins and small party rooms. A candlelit dinner at MACYS will be a great experience for you and your family and friends. The Confectionaries will serve mini pizzas, puffs and a wide variety of snacks along with the popular fresh cream cakes and pastries of all shapes and sizes.
"In these 25 years in Dubai, I have been blessed with some good friends who offered me great locations. After the opening of MACYS Restaurant and Confectionaryin Karama-Zomorrodah, we will have a Confectionary branch in Qusais. Thereafter in November, a Confectionary / Coffee Shop branch opposite Karama Central Post Office, followed by a Restaurant and Confectionary outlet in Al Safa area- Sheikh Zayed Road and finally ending the year 2014 with a MACYS Restaurant and Confectionary outlet in the Arabian Center Mall," he says.
With an action-packed three months ahead, Robert seems totally committed and dedicated to his job.
