Dubai Hot Spot For Indian Biscuit Brands

My stay  in  Dubai  has few surprise  as  all  major Indian biscuit brands could be found in retail  shop  as well as mall supermarkets  and hypermarkets   with  other international and local brands . We could also  find few brands from   south east  asian countries such as  Philippines , Thailand , Malaysia  and Indonesia .  . Local brands    from countries like   Oman , Iran , Syria, Saudi Arabia  and Turkey . Other major international brands most visible were Mcvities , Oreos , Bisca , Locker  and  local favorite Tiffany .

What   has drawn my attention of  the volume and  shelf  space Indian brands occupied on  malls  such as Carrefour and  the Brands displayed  on Vans   carrying this products

Retailers displayed  all major  brands such as  Britannia's , Parle , ITC  and even Priya Gold  . Dubai have a very sizable Indian populations which  prefers Indian biscuits  to other brands thus making it a lucrative market to Indian manufacturers .

All  major Indian brands  which  have to  face stiff competition at home have started scouting for markets overseas   and Dubai  being the favorite destinations for them . Most of them  operates through authorised  distributors  except  for  Britannia Industries Ltd  as they  have  bought  local company  Strategic Foods Intl Co LLc  from Khimji  Ramdas  . Britannia  is now promoting  both its Indian brands such  as Good Day , Marie Gold , 50-50 , Milkbikis  as well as local brand  such as  Nutro  biscuits   and wafers .

Mrs. Fields To Buy Cookie Man Chain

As  discussed in earlier post  Indian firm was hot favorite to take over  Cookie Man  but finally its was Mrs Fields  which won the bid.
Franchise chain Cookie Man has been rescued from liquidation, with former rival Mrs. Fields acquiring the brand in a deal announced this morning.
Cookie Corporation, with owns the Australian master franchise for Mrs. Fields, will buy the business and tip it into a new subsidiary called Cookie Man Australia. The Cookie Man chain has 43 stores, which are supplied cookies from a manufacturing plant and warehouse in Sydney.
Cookie Corporation will continue to separately operate the Mrs. Fields chain, which has 27 stores. Managing director Andrew Benefield says Mrs, Fields will continue to import its trademark cookies from the United States, although Mrs. Fields will have some access to the Cookie Man manufacturing facility and warehouse, allowing it to develop new products for the Australian market.
Benefield has also brought former Cookie Man owner Peter Elligett on board as general manager of the Cookie Man business, a move Benefield says will be "very popular with Cookie Man franchisees".
Benefield told SmartCompany the two brands can co-exist in the marketplace as separate entities.
"Mrs. Fields is a premium brand with a very specific, soft-baked cookie where Cookie Man has always been popular with kids and senior citizens – it’s a very different market."
