Mintiply Capital is leading a $327m investment opportunity in a fast-growing GCC food group
Mintiply Capital is leading an AED1.2bn ($327m) investment opportunity linked to the strategic exit of one of the GCC’s fastest-growing food and beverage groups, as investors’ appetite for regional purchases continues to grow.
An investment banking advisory firm, specializing in the management and planning of investment activities, advises on the group’s full exit process.
Its mandate includes valuation, deal structuring, investor onboarding and regulatory liaison, while placing assets for acquisition by qualified regional and international investors.
Mintiply Capital F&B deal overview
The opportunity includes a diverse food and beverage and e-commerce ecosystem that includes supermarkets, cafes, bakeries, food and digital food delivery.
Operating for more than 10 years, the group has grown from a niche retail concept to a multi-store network, multiple café concepts and an integrated online delivery platform.
Noel Hatem, Chief Operating Officer at Mintiply Capital, said: “This move represents a historic opportunity for investors to participate in a truly integrated F&B and e-commerce ecosystem in the GCC.
“In addition to strong financial returns, this project provides regional investors with access to a growing, diversified business with proven sustainability, a strong operating model, and the potential to shape the future of the F&B and e-commerce landscape in the region.”
“The market is developing rapidly, and we offer structured, high-potential investments that combine strong fundamentals with clear growth and scale across the region,” concludes Hatem.
Built on a model that combines premium quality with competitive pricing, the group has positioned itself between high-end grocery stores and value-driven supermarkets. The business has captured a broad consumer base and doubled its market alpha in just two years, supported by a growing portfolio of branded and private label products.
The fast-growing e-commerce platform has become a key pillar of the group’s customer engagement strategy, driving consistent growth across both physical and digital channels.
Regional M&A momentum
As part of the work, Mintiply Capital advises on the creation of an acquisition framework for incoming investors. This includes guidance on investment vehicle design, regulatory compliance in all jurisdictions, and due diligence, financial and commercial implementation.
The firm also advises on the development of a comprehensive deal structure that allows new investors to seamlessly access the group’s full ecosystem.
The opportunity comes amid accelerating deal activity across the Gulf. Gulf M&A activity is expected to exceed $115bn by 2025, according to the EY MENA M&A Insights 9M 2025 report.
The report shows that regional M&A activity increased by 23 percent in the first nine months of the year to 649 deals, driven by strong investor interest and an improving economic climate.
Cross-border sales accounted for 54 percent of deal volume and 76 percent of deal value, the highest level recorded in five years.
Mintiply Capital said the project underscores its focus on connecting global capital with high-performing regional businesses positioned for strategic change of ownership and long-term growth.
