Anthony Russo, owner of Russo's New York Pizzeria and Russo's Coal-Fired
Italian Kitchen, has announced expansion into the United Arab Emirates
(UAE), awarding exclusive UAE territory rights to Dubai-based Prime
Hospitality, a division of Ghobash Trading & Investment Company. The
agreement calls for 26 additional units in the Gulf over the next
decade. "Prime was established in 2009 and we carefully select the
brands that we add to our portfolio," said Murad Al Nasur, general
manager of Prime Hospitality. The first are planned for Dubai and Abu
Dhabi later this year. Houston-based Russo began franchising his New
York Pizzeria in 1992, and has expanded to 28 locations in Texas and
surrounding states. Russo has also developed Russo's Coal-Fired Italian
Kitchen, a more up-market casual dining concept.
