Merou Fish Market re-brands and relocates to Mar Mikhael

January 14,2019 0 Rita Ghantous

In 2014, Gino Khoueiry, CEO of Disruptive Entertainment Group (DEG), driven by his passion for seafood, opened a lively, welcoming and conveniently-priced restaurant serving the freshest seafood called Le Merou Fish Market in Achrafieh. Building on that success, DEG launched in 2016, Mothershucker, the country’s first oyster and gin bar.

It was around that time Khoueiry not only decided to relocate so as to expand the company’s reach, but also re-branded by opening in Mar Mikhael, Merou Seafood. Based on the same concept, the new restaurant offered a much broader seafood selection, bigger seating capacity and delivery, as well as catering services to maximize its offering.
