Uncle Fluffy Bakery

We've all heard that success doesn't happen overnight, and that you probably need to discover the cure for cancer to be the next big success story. And if these are the norms, then Uncle Fluffy's claim to fame couldn't be farther from normal.

Uncle Fluffy Bakery, which specializes in baking the famous spongy and jiggly Japanese cheesecake, today has 14 branches operating worldwide, and 135 branches to open before the end of 2020. A. D. Mohra, the founder of Uncle Fluffy Japanese cheesecakes, took the simplicity of five menu items, and turned it into a multi-million international franchise opportunity.

With the Dubai skyline as his canvas, his story does not have the typical rags to riches backstory. In fact, before venturing into the world of F&B, he ran a successful e-commerce venture, and one of the country's very first and most successful blockchain investment companies. A. D. Mohra made a profitable exit from his e-commerce stint, and a chance travel encounter with a soufflé style Japanese cheesecake laid the foundation of the region's fastest growing low cost food franchise.

Following an experience in Japan, he went out on the hunt to find a taste to the ever jiggling, pillowy dessert, but with no luck- sparking the idea of "scratching his own itch." But first, he needed an airtight business plan, and the rest, as they say, is history.

Uncle Fluffy was established in 2017 with one branch, and by 2018, the jiggly delights could be found across three branches in its hometown of Dubai. Today, Uncle Fluffy Japanese Cheesecakes are sold through 14 branches across four countries with a flagship store in The Dubai Mall, which is also dubbed as the world's largest retail destination.
