The new locations will include Basingstoke, Barkingside, Bicester, Manchester Oxford Rd, Tottenham Hale, Willesden Green, Hammersmith, Sunderland, Greenford, Burton Upon Trent, Stirling, and Meadowhall Sheffield. The brand has already opened four restaurants in December.

German Doner Kebab has already managed to open 47 units in 2021 and is set to announce growth plans for 2022 shortly. The 47 units have created 1,800 jobs.

“It’s a huge statement for us to open 12 new restaurants in the last 11 days of the year and demonstrates how we are responding to the huge consumer demand across the U.K. regions. The openings set us up firmly for new growth in 2022 and we look forward to growing our reach and bringing the German Doner Kebab experience to even more cities and towns up and down the country.”

It’s also been a strong year of international growth for the kebab brand, with new locations in Canada and the U.S.A. The brand has also made significant additions to its leadership team.
