Multi-Unit Franchise Deals Sold For Three New Territories Overseas

May 06, 2015 // Franchising.com // New York, NY - The Halal Guys, the innovative NYC-based American Halal food concept, has announced the signing of three major multi-unit franchise deals abroad. Nearly 40 new restaurants will open in the Philippines; Jakarta, Indonesia; and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

The franchisee for the Philippines has signed a 20-unit deal for the entire country, with the first location expected to open in the Summer of 2015 in Manila. The Kuala Lumpur and Jakarta franchisees have signed 10- and 6-unit deals, respectively, for their territories.

Asia still has a number of major markets with prime franchise territories still available or under negotiation, including Indonesia, South Korea, Japan, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam.

A quote from Philippines Daily Inquirer reporter, Pam Pastor, on The Halal Guys’ expansion says, “Someone pinch me. It feels like a dream but it’s true – Halal Guys is really coming to Manila.”

Founded over 20 years ago when the New York City street food scene consisted of little more than hot dogs and pretzels, 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.

The Halal Guys has partnered with Fransmart, the company behind the explosive growth of Five Guys Burgers and Fries and Qdoba Mexican Grill, as the brand’s exclusive Franchise Development Team, and the international franchisees worked with Fransmart’s VP of Sales, Ryan Durishin, and Senior Director of Development, Paul Tran, on their agreements.

Since 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 New Jersey, Connecticut, Houston, Atlanta, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., Chicago and the entire state of California – which sold out within the first two months of franchising.

A 2014 article in Bloomberg Businessweek on The Halal Guys’ expansion says, “The original Halal Guys in Manhattan is a thing of local legend…After signing with consulting firm Fransmart, Halal Guys now plans to grow into a chain of 100 brick-and-mortar stores in the U.S. and overseas in about five years.”
