Launches its first modular drive-thru concept in Dubai
Located in Jumeriah Beach Road, the project was completed in just 40 days, setting a new benchmark for speed, innovation, and sustainability in the retail space, according to a press statement.
This collaboration with Starbucks signals a shared commitment to innovation and efficiency. By embracing modular construction, Starbucks is exploring new avenues to expand its footprint in a way that is faster to deploy, environmentally conscious, and operationally seamless.
“This isn’t just about building differently, it’s about building smarter,” stated Nithin Mathew, Co-Founder and Head of Business Development, AHOYmodz. “Partnering with Starbucks on their first modular unit in Dubai highlights how leading brands are rethinking physical infrastructure to stay future-focused, efficient, and sustainable,” he added.
Complete functionality
The new outlet is built using prefabricated modules and designed with complete functionality in mind — including a full back-of-house, drive-thru operations, and dedicated zones for storage, equipment, and waste management.
With its clean, modern design and compact footprint, the modular store is suited to a variety of urban and suburban environments, enabling brands to scale quickly without compromising on quality or experience.
Sustainability is at the heart of AHOYmodz’s modular approach. Using recyclable materials, precision fabrication, and reduced on-site disruption, modular construction helps brands lower their carbon footprint while improving long-term operational efficiency.
The structure’s insulation and material choices also address the UAE’s harsh climate by delivering superior thermal performance and durability, the press note concluded.
