On Franchising And Close Family-Ties: Lola’s Cupcakes In Bahrain

If you ask sisters Shaikha, Sharifa, and Nouf Khalfan about Lola’s Cupcakes, they will tell you that it is more than just cakes and cupcakes.

“As sisters, we share a close bond,” Nouf said. “When one of the twins was pregnant, she had an insuppressible craving for Lola’s. Who would have guessed that one bite of Lola’s Cupcakes while traveling to London unraveled our business aspirations? That’s when we had the idea to share Lola’s with Bahrain.”

“Recreating identical flavours and textures was our primary challenge. But we are able to bounce ideas off of each other until we find a suitable solution. Since then, we have introduced a special selection of local flavours like Chai Karak, Baklava, and Rose Pistachio.”

“Our family has always been very supportive and we believe that Lola’s became the perfect outlet for us to do something that we could call our own.”
