SAUDI ARABIA- Multi-brand restaurant company Epik Foods has opened its first physical restaurant, Healthy & Co., in Saudi Arabia. 

The restaurant is located in Al Sahafah in Riyadh, along Al Imam Saud Ibn Faysal Rd. It spans a space of 175 square meters and can comfortably host 40 customers. Healthy & Co. opens everyday from 7 am to 1 am, catering to the dining needs of early birds and late-night diners. 

According to Epik Foods, the decision to open Healthy & Co. was informed by the surge in the healthy food category in the country, especially among younger, educated customers keen on being more intentional with their health and nutrition choices. 

The new restaurant’s strategic location near businesses and landmarks like the JW Marriott Riyadh, Body Master Gym Sahafah, and the Al Jazeera Bank headquarters make it a convenient dining option for professionals and fitness enthusiasts. 

Healthy & Co. will retain its signature menu, although Epik Foods announced plans to introduce special dishes inspired by Saudi culture and cuisine.  

The launch of Healthy & Co. marks a new chapter for Epik Foods’s presence in Saudi Arabia, allowing customers in the country to enjoy a unique dine-in experience. 

Early this year, the UAE-based food and beverage company introduced 13 of its most famous brands in Saudi Arabia’s capital by establishing delivery-only kitchens in Olaya and Maseef. 

However, the new restaurant will also offer delivery services through platforms like Jahez, Hungerstation, Careem, To You, and Chef, covering a radius including Sahafah, Yasmeen, Narjis, Ghadeer, Malqa, Hittin, Al Rabeeh, and Al Aqeeq. 

Ranya Fadly, Epic Foods’ Co-Founder, said, “We see immense potential in the Saudi market, and this brick-and-mortar venture is a testament to our dedication to providing innovative and healthy food choices to the community. This launch underscores our dedication to meeting the evolving preferences of our customers while setting the stage for future growth in Saudi Arabia and beyond.” 

The launch is a reflection of the company’s commitment to expand its regional footprint in the Middle East by providing customer-centric, unique dining experiences.  

Healthy & Co. should solidify Epik Foods’ presence in the Middle East and set precedence for future growth and success in the region.
