Lavoya, the UAE-based new trendsetting premium restaurant operator, a subsidiary of Veda Group, has signed a franchise agreement with Joe & The Juice, a Danish chain of juice bars and coffee shops, with plans to roll out 10 new locations in the GCC over the next two years.

The Franchise will focus on technology, creativity, and innovation to form a winning partnership among select dynamic customer base . The first three branches due to open this summer in Dubai will be located at Mall of the Emirates, Dubai Design District and Galleria Mall, Barsha.
