It will also be launching deliveries in Alexandria in early November 2021, with plans to expand into eight new cities across Egypt and Sub-Saharan Africa.
Founded in 2017, Breadfast offers delivery of groceries and other household essentials, having initially started its business with a focus on baked goods, to Egyptians across Cairo, Giza, and Mansoura.
