Sbarro Bangladesh franchise partner Khan Bahadur Foods has opened eight restaurants in Dhaka.

It was the first time the US fast-food chain has opened eight locations simultaneously in one city. Sbarro is the first New York-style pizzeria in Bangladesh. With its franchise partner, the brand has opened several locations in Bangladesh over the past two years. Khan Bahadur MD Mayeen Chowdhury says more stores are planned.

“Mayeen and his team are excellent ambassadors of Sbarro in Bangladesh, as shown by their proven success over the past few years,” says Sbarro CEO David Karam.

Since opening as an Italian salumeria in Columbus, Ohio, in 1956, Sbarro now has more than 600 restaurants in 26 countries.
