Chicago-based Naf Naf Middle Eastern Grill has signed two multi-unit development deals to open 13 locations in Atlanta and Charlotte.

"We're thrilled that we've been able to continue to drive growth even during a very challenging time for our industry," CEO Greg Willman said in the release. "It's incredibly important for us to continue to attract strong operators in key geographies to increase the footprint of the brand and to share our fresh Middle Eastern cuisine and welcoming hospitality with even more guests."

The concept plans to open 15 to 20 franchised locations between now and the end of 2022.

"There's a sizeable demand for Naf's fresh and flavorful fare in a variety of formats and markets around the country," Devin Handler, VP of Brand Marketing, said in the release. "Prospective operators continue to be motivated to grow their portfolios with Naf. We're really excited about the progress we've made in the development space, but we're just getting started and look forward to continuing to build on this momentum."

Naf Naf, which began franchising in 2020, has 28 locations.
