ABU DHABI / WAM The Khalifa Fund for Enterprise Development officially announced the completion of the 2019-2020 edition of the “Franchise Initiative”, which saw three UAE-owned and operated businesses become the latest organisations to benefit from the long-serving initiative, and become ready to expand. This year, the initiative supported Amaryliss Flowers, a one-stop-shop for flower arrangements which imports premium quality flowers from international locations such as Colombia and Holland, with express delivery services; Rafeeg, an online app marketplace that connects home improvements needs and maintenance professionals with customers through a user-friendly interface; and Rolling Wheels, the first roller skating rink in the UAE, which also provides a portable roller skating floor for outdoor events. They will all receive another year of guidance to help them complete their franchise process. As
