Shawarma Press® Wins Dintinguished 2022 Innovation Award Presented by Franchise Update Media
December 21, 2022/
Shawarma Press, the leading Mediterranean cuisine franchise, is the recipient of the 2022 Innovation Award presented by Franchise Update Media.
The annual award recognizes the top franchisors nationwide who are creating and implementing the most original, successful, and innovative strategies to build their brands. Following evaluation by a jury of expert judges and results from more than 100 entrants, Shawarma Press was recognized with the Most Innovative Supply Chain Award.
“This award is very meaningful to us, as we have worked hard to elevate our operations, logistics and sourcing initiatives,” said Dr Ehap Sabri, co-founder and a supply chain professor at the University of Texas at Dallas and seasoned Industry leader. “As one of the most rapidly growing fast-casual Mediterranean cuisine franchise, we will strive to continually innovate and disrupt the industry with new and exciting concepts.”
All entrants were evaluated and judged based on innovation, objectives, and results. Franchisors competed in four categories: Marketing Branding, Products Services, Operations Technology, and Human Resources. Twenty-two winners were chosen from among the four categories, and each winner will be profiled in Franchise Update magazine. In addition to the 2022 Innovation Award, Shawarma Press was recently named to fastcasual.com’s Top 100 Movers Shakers list, which recognizes the industry’s most successful fast casual restaurant brands based on criteria such as profitability, creativity, expansion, and dedication to innovation, leadership, and resilience.
Shawarma Press is considered to be the first authentic Shawarma Franchise in the US. Shawarma Press currently has six locations operating throughout Texas, including restaurants inside Walmart stores in Arlington, Plano, Georgetown, and San Antonio, as well as a stand-alone location in Frisco and the company’s flagship headquarters in Irving. During the next five years, the company’s expansion plan includes opening more than 100 Shawarma Press locations inside Walmart stores as well as stand-alone locations throughout the country to provide healthy and authentic Mediterranean cuisine to the masses.
