Gulf Franchise Group Welcomes Doner Shack: A Revolution in Quick-Service Doner Kebabs

Introduction

As Gulf Franchise Group continues to introduce pioneering international brands to new markets, we are thrilled to announce our partnership with Doner Shack - the Berlin-inspired kebab franchise that has captivated customers across the UK and is now poised for international expansion. With a unique menu, cutting-edge operational systems, and a robust franchise model, Doner Shack stands ready to transform the quick-service restaurant (QSR) landscape.

A Taste of Berlin with a Modern Twist

Founded in the UK, Doner Shack brings Mediterranean street food favourites to life with a fresh, modern approach. The menu combines succulent doner kebabs, shawarma, and specialty items like loaded fries and milkshakes, crafted for maximum appeal and ease of service. Each dish celebrates authentic flavours through premium, non-GMO, and antibiotic-free ingredients.

Driving Efficiency Through Innovation

Doner Shack's commitment to operational excellence is reflected in its game-changing approach to kitchen efficiency. Its automated kebab machinery offers perfect cuts every time, reducing labour demands and ensuring faster, consistent service. This innovation echoes the conveyor oven's impact on the pizza industry - revolutionizing kebab preparation and creating a scalable, efficient franchise model.

Expanding Horizons: The Move into the U.S. Market

After a successful showcase at Franchise Expo South in Florida, Doner Shack's founders, Sanjeev Sanghera and Laura Bruce, were met with high enthusiasm from prospective franchisees eager to diversify into the kebab street food sector. This debut sets the stage for a robust U.S. presence, with plans to open the first restaurant by 2025. Conversations with franchisees from key regions, including New York, Texas, and Pennsylvania, indicate a strong demand for fresh, high-quality kebabs as an alternative to traditional fast food offerings.

A Growth-Focused Franchise Opportunity

The Doner Shack franchise model is designed for speed, consistency, and profitability - key elements that Gulf Franchise Group seeks in potential franchise partners. This operational efficiency, combined with a distinct brand appeal, positions Doner Shack to establish a solid foothold in the ever growing international food market.

"We're excited to announce our partnership with Gulf Franchise Group to bring Doner Shack to the Middle East. Known for representing best-in-sector brands, Gulf Franchise Group will support our mission to open Doner Shack restaurants across the region, amplifying our reach and connecting us with new communities. This collaboration marks a key step in our global journey, and we’re thrilled to introduce the Middle East to the Doner Shack experience!" - Sanj Sanghera, Co-Founder & CEO

Conclusion

With Doner Shack, Gulf Franchise Group is proud to bring an innovative and scalable brand into the GCC region, introducing a fresh take on Berlin's street food. Doner Shack's emphasis on quality, innovation, and efficient operations makes it a compelling investment opportunity. Prospective franchisees are invited to join Doner Shack's journey as it expands across the Middle East and beyond, bringing beloved doner kebabs to new audiences.
