German Doner Kebab plans to expand across UK

German Doner Kebab, the fast-casual dining chain, has announced ambitious plans to open a string of sites across the UK. It already operates 33 sites across the UK.

The chain aims to open a new restaurant every week for the rest of 2019. This move will create around 200 jobs.

Imran Sayeed, Chief Executive Officer, German Doner Kebab, said, “The hardest thing for us is finding sites. I think we could open another 40 or 50 sites this year because of demand, but we have to take the time to make sure the locations are right.”

“By the end of this year we will hopefully be near to 50 in the UK, and I think we could be looking at 300 in the next five years. I think our success highlights the shift to fast-casual dining. Millennials and Generation Z want something different, and our product offering and price point fits in with what they want,” he further stated.

The kebab chain eyes investing £6 million for launching 14 new sites throughout the year in locations including Preston, Oldham, Bradford, Northampton, Walsall, Newcastle, Edinburgh and Aberdeen.
