The Saudi Arabian master franchisee for gelato chain Gelatissimo has been named by Forbes Middle East as one of the region’s most inspiring leaders.

Zamel Alshahrani, who has won the industrial category, plans to open 10 gelataria in the near future, with the second outlet at Dammam City due to open early this year.

The first store was a kiosk style gelataria at Fanateer Beach in the biggest industrial city in the world, Jubail City.
