Emirates Leisure Retail (ELR)
Emirates Leisure Retail’s core business is establishing, managing and franchising a wide-ranging portfolio of restaurants, cafes, bars and leisure facilities in the Gulf and beyond.
It has established a reputation for successfully integrating international concepts into the local culture and growing them rapidly, while at the same time preserving the quality and integrity of the brand.
ELR operates more than 65 Costa coffee outlets in the UAE. It has also developed several home-grown concepts, including Après, Hey Pesto, Deli Express, Bedouinn’s Bistro & The Retreat, Good To Go and Left Bank. In addition, it runs franchises of the Noodle House.
ELR recently expanded its operations to include Community Club Management, taking control of four independent clubhouses on Palm Jumeirah which look after the social, dining, entertainment, fitness and lifestyle needs of residents.
The business was part of MMI until 2007 when its leisure operations were divested to create a new company, branded ELR, which is a fully-fledged subsidiary of the Emirates Group.
