Epik Foods, a UAE-headquartered F&B company operating dozens of brands across the GCC, has acquired Abu Dhabi-based food group Sauce Capital after securing nearly $15 million in fresh funding. The strategic move is set to expand Epik Foods’ market share in the region while strengthening its foothold in Saudi Arabia and Abu Dhabi, where Sauce Capital already has a strong presence.
With this acquisition, Epik Foods adds 15 more brands to its portfolio, bringing the total count to 75. This expansion reinforces the company’s commitment to diversifying its offerings and catering to a growing customer base. Sauce Capital’s extensive network in Saudi Arabia is expected to complement Epik Foods’ existing operations and enhance its ability to scale further.
The company secured $15.5 million from Ruya Private Capital, a fund managed by private credit firm Ruya Partners. This latest investment underscores investor confidence in Epik Foods’ growth trajectory and its ability to capitalise on the evolving food and beverage sector in the GCC.
Epik Foods operates various quick-service dine-in restaurants, digital brands, meal kits, meal plans, hotel and gym partnerships, and a catering division. The company currently has a presence in 50 locations across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Oman, with further expansion plans expected in the near future.
