Doner Shack is expanding its footprint in Scotland with a three-unit franchise deal with Abrar Khaliq.

"Even though Doner Shack is now growing across four continents, there's something deeply personal about expanding here in Glasgow," Doner Shack's co-Founder Sanj Sanghera said in a company press release. "It's our home city, where so much of our journey began, and seeing the brand grow locally means a lot. Abrar understands what we're about which is great food, high standards and building real connections with our customers. He's exactly the kind of franchise partner we love to work with."

The opportunity to work with a Glasgow-based operator was important to Khaliq.

"I've been watching Sanj work on Doner Shack for years and what impresses me the most is the team's relentless pursuit to make it the best," he said in the release. "I've seen the menu develop into something I think is really impressive and ultimately, the biggest thing for me is the food; it's absolutely next level. I genuinely find myself at my local Doner Shack every few days with friends and family because I just love it that much."
