Our story of barn’s began in 1992, when Mr. Samer Dahlan, an entrepreneur from Jeddah Saudi Arabia, opened the first barn’s cafe location. Mr. Dahlan had understood the needs and importance of coffee, convenience and quality in attracting customers.

He founded a company called Al Amjaad Trading & Manufacturing Company, which provided raw coffee beans to workers in factories. From there, he developed the idea of opening a coffee shop to cater the growing demand for quick, affordable coffee meals. In early 90’s, he opened the first barn’s at Tahlia Street- Jeddah.

The concept was simple: serve fresh, high-quality coffee, and provide quick service for customers on the go. Barn’s quickly gained popularity, thanks to its emphasis on affordable prices and a consistent, fast experience. Mr. Dahlan’s vision for the brand was to make barn’s the go-to spot for coffee, and he succeeded by focusing on mass appeal. By the late 2000s, barn’s began to expand beyond its original location through franchising. The first franchise store opened in 2001 in Makkah. This move marked the beginning of barn’s rapid growth across Saudi Arabia and eventually internationally.

Over the years, barn’s built a reputation for its innovative approach to coffee, from offering a wide variety of coffee and baked goods to introducing the popular "coffee culture" concept.

In 2024, barn’s have more than 850+ stores across Saudi Arabia, in which 75% are franchise owned stores. The company continues to thrive globally, serving millions of customers each day with its iconic coffee, and remains café of choice for coffee and baked goods by its customers.

Barn’s success story is a testament to the power of innovation, understanding customer needs, and creating a brand that resonates with people around the world.
