"WellBiz Brands is excited to expand in the Middle East and to bring more than two dozen Drybar shops to beauty enthusiasts," WellBiz Brands Inc. CEO Jeremy Morgan said. "The influence of Western culture is a driving force for growth. What consumers in these countries want is very similar to what consumers in the U.S. want: They want to take advantage of self-care services like those offered by Drybar shops in a welcoming and communal environment where they can feel safe, happy and confident."
This master franchise agreement is part of WellBiz Brands' efforts to grow its portfolio of brands' global reach. The beauty industry in the Middle East alone is worth $40 billion and is projected to grow at a faster pace than anywhere else in the world. By 2027, the beauty industry's annual growth rate is expected to reach 12%, according to a new report from McKinsey & Company, a global management consulting company.
"The Middle East is witnessing significant expansion due to the growing purchasing power of local consumers," the report said. "Rising disposable incomes and overall rising wealth, particularly among the rising younger urban middle class, also bring opportunities for value-added beauty products that emphasize health and well-being."
Lekhraib Rose LLC is owned by the wife of a Qatari diplomat to the United States. She worked for the Embassy in Washington, D.C., on press and media relations and became acquainted with the Drybar brand during her travels to the U.S. She developed a love for the brand as a frequent customer and wanted to share it with other women in the Middle East. When visiting Drybar shops, she saw women feeling more confident as they left. It was something they didn't have in Qatar.
As a master franchisee, Lekhraib Rose LLC
will open shops throughout the next 5
years. The current development plan is to build six Drybar shops in Qatar, eight in Kuwait and 12 in the UAE. The first opening is tentatively slated for 2024.
