## Story

Doner Shack’s expansion across the United States continues at pace with new multi-unit agreements now signed in Alabama and Arkansas. These commitments follow recent announcements in Tennessee and Mississippi, expanding the brand’s Southern footprint with new multi-unit agreements across four key states in the region, signed in recent weeks.

These additions represent one of Doner Shack’s largest regional growth commitments to date.

“Securing multi-unit agreements in Alabama and Arkansas, alongside Tennessee and Mississippi, reflects operator confidence in Doner Shack and creates a connected region for efficient growth,” said Jason Steele, Founder & CEO of Steele Advisory Group.
