Al Baik (البيك) is a chain of fast food restaurants in Saudi Arabia that primarily sells broasted chicken and shrimp with a variety of sauce. The chain has twenty-four branches in Jeddah, along with five in Mecca, three in Medina and one in Yanbu. However, the company is currently under pressure from its consumers outside Saudi Arabia to open international locations. Evidence of this can be found in numerous groups on Facebook and Orkut, mainly supported by university students. The Company is banned to expand its branches outside these cities.
Al Baik's prices are lower than similar international fast food chains that it competes with, including McDonald's and KFC. Al Baik's meals generally cost about 12 Saudi Riyals, about 30 percent less than at the international chains. KFC one of the most successful fast chain across the world is not popular in Jeddah as Albaik dominates it. Evidence of this could be found in Tahlia street (Jeddah) where Al baik and KFC are side by side. Al baik is crowded most of the time unlike KFC which is empty most of the time. This is also common aroud all of Saudi Arabia. So far there has been no mention of expanding the franchise. In some countries, however, some entrepreneurs have copied Al Baik such as Pakistan and Egypt.
