To be located in hospitals, banks and universities, Paper Bag’s first outpost will open in Dubai Science Park in February.

Al Naimi told Catering News: “Paper Bag is a derivative of Circle Café. It is targeted mostly at clients with a busy lifestyle, with all the food pre-packed and ready to be grabbed on the go.

“It will be an array of food items ranging from scrumptious salads, to hot meals on the go, gourmet sandwiches, gluten-free items and homemade desserts in portions.”

She added there will be nutritious options for health-conscious customers and wholesome menu items for those seeking “deliciousness, freshness and comfort”.

The partners expect to roll out five – 10 Paper Bag outlets in 2017 in the UAE, before expanding the concept overseas.

A full interview with Mira Lozi Al Naimi and Rama Dabbous Mamlouk will feature in the February edition of Catering News Middle East.
