Franchise Services of North America Inc. has announced that it has signed a letter of intent with Mr. Abdul Wahed Al Kooheji to enter into a Master Franchise Agreement covering seven countries in the Middle East.
The agreement will grant exclusive rights to Mr. Al Kooheji for the development of U-Save Auto Rental businesses in the Kingdom of Bahrain, United Arab Emirates, Sultanate of Oman, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait and Morocco.
