The company was co-founded in 1981 by Mr. Ahmed Al-Said who had just returned from his studies in the United States, driven by a vision of the future inspired by the fast food craze then sweeping the world. In partnership with Panda United under its General Manager back then, Hamoud Al-Ibrahim, the first Herfy restaurant was opened in Riyadh that same year. Looking to have better control over the quality of its ingredients, the company also decided to start making its own breads. Thus, was also born Herfy Bakery in 1982.
