    Founded in California's San Francisco Bay Area, Round Table Pizza has prospered as the market share leader in one of the most competitive markets in the United States. This summer, Round Table celebrates 50 years of success in bringing families together to share a wonderful meal. Of the company's 500 restaurants, 75% are owned and operated by franchisees. Round Table is uniquely structured to provide its partners with the tools and flexibility necessary to launch successful international restaurants.

    'Mr. Wehbe has faithfully represented our brand's core values in the UAE and his commitment has paved the way for further growth,' notes Mr. McCourt.

    'I lived on Round Table Pizza as a university student and knew its founder,' recalled Mr. Wehbe. 'Round Table's quality is second-to-none and we've worked hard to further that reputation in the UAE. Since Dubai is a business and tourist hub, Round Table Pizza's name is renowned throughout the Middle East.'
