Lucky Voice opens first Middle East site as part of expansion plan
The site in Dubai will be headed by Richard Drake, who has previously overseen the launch of Jamie's Italian restaurant in the United Arab Emirates.
Drake and his team aim to focus on not only the karaoke offer at the Dubai bar but also on food and drink at the 11,000sq ft venue.
Head of B2B solutions at the company, Nick Jones, said: "We see Dubai as a natural territory to expand into, with an amazing late-night leisure scene as well as an incredibly high-service standard that fits with the Lucky Voice ethos.
"This is something that we also plan to emulate here in the UK, especially with the growing demand for ‘one-stop shops’ allowing consumers to dine, drink and be entertained in one place."
The Dubai franchise will be the company's fifth, with plans to expand into both Canada and Australia.
East London proposal
Closer to home, The Morning Advertiser understands that the company is seeking out an east London site to go alongside the Soho and Islington sites that it already has in the capital.
The wider expansion in the UK is coupled with new software in the UK that increases the number of languages on offer to customers. Lucky Voice's UK sites now offers songs in Arabic, Chinese and Russian, in addition to the Spanish, French, Italian and English songs already on offer.
"We’re constantly striving to offer an even better service, which is why we’re proud to be the first to add a multi-language offering to our customers," Nick Jones said.
