The Halal Guys is continuing its expansion across the Atlanta area with a location at 3455 Peachtree Industrial Blvd., in Duluth, Georgia.

"We feel privileged to have the opportunity to serve our customers and fans in Duluth," Franchisee Joe Hafez said in a company press release. "We believe we are an excellent addition to the diverse culture already in place and are looking forward to integrating ourselves within the community.”

Hafez and his business partner, Mitesh Patel, grew up in New York, where The Halal Guys originated. They were regular customers before the first brick and mortar location opened.

"Our passion for the food industry, our faith in the leadership of the founders, the corporate structure in place, and our love for the brand brought us together," Patel said in the release. "As one of the earlier franchise groups for this brand, we signed for three territories before the first franchise location opened. We have committed to 15 locations in four states and have no plans to slow down."

From its beginnings as a New York City street cart, The Halal Guys has expanded to 95 restaurants, with 400 more locations in the pipeline.
