2022 DEVELOPMENTS
Dunkin’ joins the expansion trend, with its first Moroccan restaurant in
Rabat City
Dunkin’ (Inspire Brands Inc), the global baked goods and coffee brand, also opened its first
restaurant in Morocco, at Arribat Center in Rabat City. Featuring a line-up of high-quality coffee,

handcrafted espresso drinks, premium teas and delicious bakery items, the new restaurant will
be owned and operated by Dunkin’ franchisee Alamar Foods Company, which operates 35
Dunkin’ locations in Egypt.
Global giants McDonald’s and Burger King will maintain their status
Limited-service restaurant players such as McDonald’s (First Restaurant International) and
Burger King (Best Financière SA) have fared much better than their counterparts in the fine-
dining or night-time sectors in 2022. This is largely due to a flexible business model and a
consumer emphasis on convenience over atmosphere. Both companies are expected to
continue to offer such services and expand throughout the country over the forecast period. It is
likely that both companies will continue to dominate the sector thanks to their well-established
brand names and international standing amongst local consumers and tourists alike.
Delivery apps will maintain their popularity, albeit with low usage outside
of the large cities
Another reason supporting the sales of global brands such McDonald’s, Burger King, and
KFC (La Société Marocaine de Projets Touristique (SMPT - Americana)), is the fact that they
were able to maintain their operations through lockdowns via delivery services. Delivery
services are expected to become increasingly more important in Morocco, as people will
continue using the apps which they became accustomed to during the era of pandemic
lockdowns. This will be most notable in large, urban settings. However, delivery services will
suffer from the relatively low usage of apps across more rural settings in the country, and the
fact that most app delivery services only focus on big cities and do not tend to cater for people in
small to medium towns, or those living in or visiting rural areas.
