German Doner Kebab opens its 100th UK location

German Doner Kebab opens its 100th UK location

The landmark site opened for customers on 10 May in the heart of Covent Garden, London

Famous for pioneering gourmet kebabs in the UK and worldwide, German Doner Kebab (GDK) achieved a major milestone this month, opening its 100th UK restaurant. The landmark site opened for customers on 10 May in the heart of Covent Garden, London.

To mark the occasion, GDK hosted a weekend of launch activity to celebrate its significant milestone. The 100th restaurant opens as German Doner Kebab forges ahead with plans to open 78 new restaurants in the UK during 2022, building significantly on the 39 opened during 2021.

Imran Sayeed, GDK CEO, said: “Opening our 100th UK restaurant is a landmark moment in the German Doner Kebab story but we are not stopping there. Our goal for 2022 is to almost double our UK portfolio and continue our mission to bring the GDK experience to more cities and towns throughout the UK.”

Now employing over 3,500 people in its restaurants throughout the country, the brand boasts a development pipeline of 350 franchise units over the next seven years and has delivered a significant rise in UK total sales in 2021, up 75 per cent from the previous 12 months.

Based in Glasgow, the brand has grown at a great pace in the UK, Sweden and the Middle East and now rapidly expanding in the US, Canada, Saudi Arabia and other key locations in Europe.

“We are a brand that listens to the needs of our customers and has been responding to the huge demand for our game-changing kebabs throughout the UK. We are now looking forward to forging ahead with our growth strategy and developing GDK as the fast-casual brand of the future, bringing a fresh and exciting alternative to the Gen Z and Millennial audience,” continued Imran.
