US fast food chain CaliBurger is planning to open an outlet in the Seef district of Bahrain early next year.

It comes as part of an expansion into the Gulf with branches also in the pipeline in Kuwait and Dubai, reported the Gulf Daily News, our sister publication.

"Given its geographic location and popularity with Saudi tourists, Bahrain is a key market for CaliBurger in the region," said company chairman John Miller.

"The launch of CaliBurger in Bahrain will pave the way for future expansion into neighbouring states like Saudi Arabia and Qatar." – TradeArabia News Service
