Blends & Brews Coffee Shoppe, operating under the hospitality division of UAE-based Thumbay Group, will add 100 outlets worldwide to its portfolio by 2020, according to Thumbay Group founder and president Thumbay Moideen.

The Dubai-founded brand recently ventured into India, opening a café in Thumbay New Life Hospital, Hyderabad, shortly before it unveiled its seventh outlet – and first drive-through – in Ajman.

The company said it plans to extend franchise offers to partners in countries in the MENA region, as well as in other parts of India.

Alongside typical coffee shop beverages and snacks, Blends & Brews Coffee Shoppe offers a sugar-free line of drinks, cakes and cookies.
