Internationally renowned Southern Brazilian steakhouse Fogo de Chão
(NASDAQ:FOGO) today announced the opening of its first Middle
East restaurant in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia in a joint venture with the
Enany Group of Companies. The new restaurant represents a strategic
execution of Fogo’s plan to continue its international expansion in
key markets with strategic partners.
“International expansion is important to our
continued and long-term success,” said Larry Johnson, Chief
Executive Officer of Fogo de Chão. “Jeddah is a global city
with an exciting culinary scene, presenting a unique opportunity to
introduce Fogo to guests from all over the world. We are thrilled
to work with the Enany Group to officially join the community
and share our passion for Southern Brazilian cooking and
hospitality with Saudi residents and visitors.”
Mr. Fahad Enany, a principal of the Enany Group

restaurant Fogo de Chão from Brazil to the heart of Jeddah,
and to be the first to introduce the truly authentic Brazilian
experience of churrasco to the Kingdom.”

most impressive and popular of the city’s sites including the Red
Sea, the Corniche and high-end shopping areas. The multi-story
restaurant has two floors of dining with several private dining
areas as well as a large rooftop terrace and
lounge.
The new location will offer guests the full
churrasco experience – the art of roasting meats over an open fire,
which Fogo de Chão began serving nearly 40 years ago in Southern
Brazil. Additionally, a variety of dining options and experiences
are available including:
