Welcome to The Kebab Shop, a vibrant fast-casual Mediterranean dining experience that has been delighting taste buds since 2008. Originating in San Diego, California, The Kebab Shop has rapidly expanded across the United States, bringing its unique blend of European-style kebabs and Mediterranean flavors to locations in California, Texas, and Florida.
With 33 locations and counting, The Kebab Shop is the go-to destination for fresh, flavorful meals that are both convenient and satisfying!
A journey of growth and adaptation
The Kebab Shop’s journey began with a single location in San Diego, capturing the hearts of locals with its delicious kebabs and welcoming atmosphere. By 2015, The Kebab Shop had grown to seven locations and adopted Square to streamline administrative operations. This move enabled them to efficiently scale to 15 locations by early 2020.
When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, The Kebab Shop quickly adapted by leveraging online ordering and delivery through Square. This flexibility not only sustained their business but also fueled further expansion. Despite the challenges, The Kebab Shop opened seven additional locations in two states, bringing their total to 33 locations by 2024.
