Sprinkles Cupcakes launches its first Middle East bakery in Kuwait

Founded by Candace and Charles Nelson, Sprinkles opened in 2005 as the world's first cupcake bakery.

Today, most cupcake bakeries take their inspiration from Sprinkles which operates 11 locations in the U.S and is brought to the Middle East by M. H. Alshaya Co., a leading retail international franchise operator.

Sprinkles Cupcakes are baked from scratch daily and hand-crafted using the highest quality ingredients including sweet cream butter, bittersweet Belgian chocolate, pure Madagascar vanilla, fresh bananas, carrots, real strawberries and natural citrus zests.

Commenting on the partnership, Charles Nelson said, "We are very excited about opening our very first bakery outside the U.S. here in Kuwait. I am delighted to begin our global expansion from the Middle East through our partnership with Alshaya, a company which has a remarkable legacy of retail leadership. I am sure that our hand-crafted cupcakes will delight our new customers in Kuwait."

Mohammed Alshaya, Executive Chairman of M.H. Alshaya Co. added, "Sprinkles Cupcakes has made a huge impact in the U.S. and we look forward to extending the brand's success here. Sprinkles Cupcakes is a great addition to our food portfolio and we are delighted that they have chosen to make their international debut in Kuwait."
