Omani youth are redefining entrepreneurship by transforming their hobbies and daily practices into thriving commercial ventures. These innovative projects are not only gaining popularity among consumers but are also making waves in regional and global markets. One such success story is Seven Fries, the first Omani brand specializing in fresh French fries, owned by Issa bin Saleh Al Aghbari.

Launched in 2021 in the Wilayat of Seeb, Muscat Governorate, Seven Fries has rapidly expanded. In less than two years, the brand opened three branches across Muscat and Dhofar Governorates. Its unique concept and quality offerings have made it a standout in Oman’s competitive food industry.

A Franchise Success Story

Seven Fries was selected from over 300 Omani brands participating in the franchise program offered by the Oman Chamber of Commerce and Industry. This recognition allowed Issa Al Aghbari to sign an agreement with the Chamber to further develop the brand. By 2024, the brand had secured its first commercial franchise contract in the Wilayat of Al Amerat, Muscat Governorate.

The momentum continued with another franchise contract signed in the Wilayat of Ibri, Al Dhahirah Governorate. Globally, Seven Fries has expanded into the Kurdistan Region of Iraq with a branch in Erbil and another in Islamabad, Pakistan. Additionally, the brand has secured an exclusive contract in India, aiming to open 300 branches in one of the world’s largest markets.

Global Ambitions

Seven Fries is not stopping there. The brand has received numerous requests for franchise agreements in global markets, particularly in the United States. This international expansion highlights the brand’s potential to compete on a global scale.

The Vision Behind Seven Fries

Issa Al Aghbari’s vision for Seven Fries goes beyond just selling French fries. He aims to create a brand that represents Omani innovation and entrepreneurship. By focusing on quality and customer satisfaction, Seven Fries has become a symbol of how Omani youth can turn simple ideas into successful businesses.

Why Seven Fries Stands Out

• Freshness: Specializing in fresh French fries, the brand ensures high-quality ingredients.
• Innovation: Unique recipes and preparation methods set it apart from competitors.
• Global Appeal: With franchises in Iraq, Pakistan, and plans for India and the US, Seven Fries is a truly global brand.

The Role of the Oman Chamber of Commerce and Industry

The Oman Chamber of Commerce and Industry has played a pivotal role in supporting local brands like Seven Fries. Their franchise program provides Omani entrepreneurs with the tools and resources needed to expand their businesses both locally and internationally.

Looking Ahead

As Seven Fries continues to grow, it serves as an inspiration for other Omani youth to pursue their entrepreneurial dreams. The brand’s success story is a testament to the power of innovation, determination, and strategic partnerships.
