Mulit-Unit Franchise Deals Sold For Territories in Houston and Austin

April 30, 2015 // Franchising.com // New York, NY - The Halal Guys, the innovative American Halal food concept, has announced the signing of multi-unit franchise deals outside the home market of New York City. 15 new restaurants will open in parts of Houston and Austin, Texas, including one unit at George Bush Intercontinental Airport. Texas has a number of major markets with prime franchise territories still available or under negotiation, including Dallas and San Antonio. With deals signing so quickly, The Halal Guys plans to focus expansion on top real estate markets, seeking sites in mass gathering areas like airports, train stations, malls, and neighborhoods with a significant late night demand.

The Halal Guys have partnered with Fransmart, the company behind the explosive franchise growth of restaurants like Five Guys Burgers and Fries and Qdoba Mexican Grill, as the brand’s exclusive Franchise Development Partner.

Since joining up with Fransmart and announcing the launch of a franchise program in 2014, The Halal Guys has opened two corporate brick-and-mortar restaurants in Manhattan, and has over 200 franchise units in development in territories including Atlanta, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., Virginia, Chicago, New Jersey, Connecticut and the entire state of California, which sold out within the first two months of franchising, as well as international locations for the Philippines, Malaysia and Indonesia.

The franchisees for the Houston and Austin markets worked with Fransmart Directors of Development, Mark Treptow and Kert Gennings, on their agreements and have committed to developing at least 5 units in each of their territories.

In operation for over 20 years, the world famous The Halal Guys has created major global buzz with media and fans alike after announcing franchise deals for 200 new units in their first year of franchising! The Halal Guys' brand loyalty is second to none in the restaurant industry. The American Halal food favorite ranks in the Top 10 Most Yelped Businesses in the entire United States, and Reebok recently launched a specialty sneaker inspired by The Halal Guys.

A 2014 article in Bloomberg Businessweek on The Halal Guys’ expansion says, “The original Halal Guys in Manhattan is a thing of local legend…” and some reviews from the brand’s devoted customer fan base say: “Best Halal food in the world…” “These guys ARE different” and “Amazing. A ‘must’ when in NYC.”
