Nayla Audi’s sweets and ice cream in Lebanon and the US
30-6-2017
In a special feature today, L’Orient Le Jour highlighted a venture by Nayla Audi, who runs the Oslo and MILK ice cream and cakes parlors in Lebanon and the United States. Despite her infatuation with the world of gastronomy, she studied political science at the American University of Beirut, Nayla told L’Orient Le Jour reporter. From there, she moved to the US where she worked in the business of confectionaries, Nayla went on to say. In 1997, she returned to her homeland to kick off her first sweets shop, Oslo, in Ashrafieh’s neighborhood of Mar Mkhail, investing nearly USD 25 thousand and collaborating with only one assistant, Audi stated. Today, she boasted, her shop employs 22 workers and offers a wide assortment of desserts including 80 ice cream flavors and some 300 sweet courses. To mention, in 2011, Audi expanded the shop that now extends over 600 square meters, and opened a branch in Los Angeles. In 2017, she launched a new branch in Verdun, Beirut. MILK, on the other hand, founded in LA in 2007, employs 32 persons catering almost the same Oslo ice cream brands, and an additional branch was founded also in California in 2012.
