Sajj Mediterranean is partnering with Local Kitchens, a digital food hall, to launch a "Sajj Kitchen" concept in Cupertino, California.

The fast casual brand's kitchen, at 21666 Stevens Creek Boulevard, will provide pick up and delivery services within an eight-mile radius of the storefront and will operate from 11 a.m. to 9:30 p.m., according to a press release.

Customers can order directly from the brand's website and via its app, as well third-party delivery services and the in-store kiosk.

"As digital ordering has become more popular than ever, we wanted to find new ways to meet the needs of SAJJ's new and existing customers," Sajj Mediterranean Founder and CEO Zaid Ayoub said in the release. "We're excited to be working with Local Kitchens, which has afforded us to expand our reach to the Cupertino area and further grow our customer base. This unique opportunity and partnership has also allowed us to launch our newest concept, SAJJ Kitchen, and we have complete confidence in the Local Kitchens team and chefs who will be creating each meal on-site and representing the SAJJ brand in this new market."

Local Kitchens was founded by former DoorDash colleagues, CEO Jon Goldsmith and COO Andrew Munday, and CTO Jordan Bramble. Its Cupertino site features a storefront and a dedicated takeout customer experience that allows customers to mix and match cuisines from different restaurants.

Sajj Mediterranean operates 12 restaurants throughout California, food trucks, a catering service, and an e-commerce SAJJ Market. The rapidly growing fast casual has been recognized by a number of notable industry publications, including being named on Fast Casual's list of Top 100 Movers & Shakers.
