A new Halal Guys location will open in DC in fall 2023 as part of its planned local and global expansion.
The new spot at 50 Massachusetts Ave. NE is one of five new locations opening in the U.S. this fall. Halal Guys currently has 105 units across 17 U.S. states as well as Korea, UK, Canada, and Indonesia. The restaurant has another DC location at Dupont Circle.
The Halal food eatery has partnered with a franchise development company called Fransmart to help with brand expansion. The company was behind the growth of popular brands such as Five Guys Burgers & Fries and QDOBA Mexican Grill.
“When I experienced the original cart in New York City for the first time, the line around the block was impossible to ignore,” said Dan Rowe, CEO of Fransmart, according to QSR Magazine.
Rowe continued: “This concept resonated so strongly with me because it served an authentic taste that carried a broad appeal. It’s a cuisine that can be mainstream and cater to every walk of life. The global brand’s universal appeal is undeniable, and I firmly believe that The Halal Guys are poised for even more monumental successes ahead.”
Halal Guys is known for its signature platters of beef gyro, chicken, and falafel, among other halal food items.
