TL;DR
Doner Shack has signed a multi-unit franchise deal in Tallahassee, Florida, with Kaushal Patel, a new franchisee with extensive entrepreneurial experience. Doner Shack is an award-winning QSR franchise offering an exciting opportunity in the rapidly growing Mediterranean food category.
Kaushal Patel, the newest Doner Shack franchisee, brings extensive entrepreneurial experience to the brand. A Tallahassee resident for over a decade, Patel has a background in law enforcement but always aspired to be his own boss and build a family business.
“I’ve always wanted to enter the retail industry and initially explored gas station ownership,” said Patel. “I currently own two gas stations, and I love serving my customers and understanding their needs. As a passionate foodie, I wanted to expand into the restaurant industry, and when I discovered Doner Shack, it just clicked—THIS IS IT! I’m a huge fan of kebabs, and this was the perfect opportunity to own, cook, and serve high-quality food. Doner Shack offers a scalable, profitable business model with advanced robotic kebab machines, making it a great investment.”
Outside of business, Patel enjoys cooking and spending time with his wife, Aditi, and their daughter, Tulsi.
Jason Steele, Founder & CEO of Steele Advisory Group, which leads Doner Shack’s development and real estate strategy in the U.S. and Canada, is excited about the brand’s rapid success.
“We knew Doner Shack was something special, which is why it has achieved international success and, most recently, became the talk of the Qatar Food Festival,” said Steele. “Every day, we connect with passionate entrepreneurs eager to be part of Doner Shack’s growth in the U.S., and it’s incredibly rewarding to see this momentum continue.”
For a limited time, Doner Shack is offering franchise fee and royalty incentives to early franchisees in the U.S., though Steele anticipates these incentives will phase out soon.
