Hi~there!I'm going to be in Qatar in 2months,and i plan to open a chinese store in Doha,does anyone know how much it will cost to rent a store with a size of 30~40sqm in down town area in Doha?your answer is appreciated!
Not me. Sorry. I'm not in Qatar yet either. I've been frequenting this site to acclimatize myself and to learn what to expect when I do move. Where to shop, what to do, what to drive, where to wine and dine, ahem, I mean dine, where Canadians or Quebecors or the French hang out to date, etc. I'll be leaving from Montreal next week (we just had our first major snowstorm yesterday).
I hope others can help you with what might be popular there. Keep in mind, though, no pork products in Qatar.
All those dim sums will have to be seafood or vegetarian.
Guys, he keeps saying store, Chinese STORE, not restaurant.
Well, AnnyZhang, I hope to see your store in Doha. I just got home from my grocery shopping at a Chinese store here and did a search on this forum to see if there are any Chinese grocery stores there and yours is the only post I found. Doesn't look like people have had much introduction to Chinese grocery there.
Let's hope you keep it stocked with all kinds of herbal teas and frozen dim sum and ginseng and ginger products.
well i've tried many chinese restaurants in my home and here in Qatar, i love all types of chinese seafood cooking. noodles, soup, stir fry or sweet and sour, mmmmmmmmmmmmm i'm hungry now;)
if you want to intruduce ur chinese food restaurant over here... then you may need a larger space... and probably if u open a restaurant... the rent would be the same as phoenix guessing...
Thank you phoenix2009,well,10-15thousand is too high price for me,is there any cheaper one?the store i plan to run maybe a chinese grocery store (xpress)or some other kind which depends on my personal research about the market there when i get to Doha...besides,should i pay taxes for the shop every month?

btw, 30 to 40 sqm, isn't it a bit too small for a chinese resto? what kind of concept you'll be having? xpress or dine in?
I LOVE CHINESE FOOD :)
