Case Study: Juicy Burger
The brand set out to introduce high-quality burgers, bold flavors, and provide Jordanian customers an American fast food style dining experience. LMK Investment Group was brought in to develop a scalable market entry strategy, craft the brand identity, and ensure cultural fit. Here is how we helped them in all these aspects along with building an operational system that could compete in a rapidly growing F&B market.
The Challenge
Introducing a new food concept in Jordan came with several challenges:
- Cultural Adaptation: How to deliver an authentic American fast-food experience without alienating local tastes and expectations?
- Competitive Market: Abdoun, one of Amman’s most dynamic neighborhoods, already hosted several international F&B brands and boutique restaurants. Standing out required more than just good food.
- Operational Consistency: To succeed long-term, Juicy Burger needed standardized systems for staff training, service delivery, and quality control.
- Brand Awareness: As a new entrant, Juicy Burger had to quickly generate excitement and capture the attention of both locals and expats.
The Solution
LMK Investment Group designed a comprehensive consulting solution that combined brand building, operational efficiency, and content-driven marketing:
1. Brand Identity & Positioning
We developed a vibrant brand architecture that emphasized Juicy Burger as more than just a restaurant — it was an experience. The identity focused on bold visuals, playful storytelling, and community-driven marketing, appealing to a young, urban audience in Amman.
2. Operational Systems & Training
Our team built operational frameworks to ensure consistency, including kitchen workflows, staff training modules, and service protocols. These systems allowed Juicy Burger to deliver fast, reliable, and high-quality service that matched the expectations of a true American-style fast-food brand.
3. Media & Content Strategy
We launched a high-impact social media campaign showcasing Juicy Burger’s food, brand personality, and American-inspired dining atmosphere. Engaging video content, influencer collaborations, and localized storytelling created buzz and positioned Juicy Burger as a fresh, exciting brand in Abdoun.
4. Community Engagement
To connect with local culture, Juicy Burger sponsored events, engaged with lifestyle communities, and created limited-time menu items inspired by Jordanian tastes — striking the right balance between American authenticity and local relevance.
The Impact
Within the first year, Juicy Burger achieved measurable growth and cultural traction:
- Strong Market Entry: Established itself as a go-to fast-food spot in Abdoun, attracting both locals and expats.
