United Hospitality’s first branch was opened by Obaid Saif Al Khameeri in Abu Dhabi, UAE in 2001, which he named Lips The Cafe. Initially the cafe only served beverages, sandwiches and some cakes for its customers.
Through the continued success of the brand, hard work and strong passion for providing the best experience to their guests with a simple philosophy that our guests should receive the best food served by professionally trained staff with the best ingredients and a great value, the founder with his partner, Aiser Alhawi decided to expand their business by opening two more branches in the capital city of United Arab Emirates namely Rawaq Coffee Shop in The Souk Central Market, and Baguette De France in Al Nahyan Area Murror road.
In 2012, both co-founders decided to expand the portfolio of the company by adding more brands and branches. For that purpose the mother company was established: ‘’United Hospitality L.L.C’’. This became their corporate headquarters responsible for managing the development of the new concepts and the operations of existing branches.
Due to the high demand from other countries for acquiring the franchise of Lips the Cafe the decision was made to pursue this avenue and franchise the concept to other GCC and Middle East countries. For this the co-founders decided to join forces with a famous Canadian franchise company called Overseas Franchise with the aim of being able to provide a professional service to franchisees around the world.
In 2013 Overseas Franchise started operations in Dubai and Lips the cafe was taken to a higher level.To spice things up a little further, the previously mentioned concept was created to provide a unique experience to our Abu Dhabi customers: ‘’BAGUETTE DE FRANCE L.L.C’’, with the aim of being the best bakery on the market.
