Most healthcare professionals and dieticians agree that consuming takeout, fast food, or fast casual menu items on a daily basis would be detrimental to your health.
However, Shawarma Press, the first authentic Shawarma franchise in the US, is on a mission to change this perception.
With a menu aligned with the Mediterranean Diet, which is consistently ranked globally as the healthiest diet in the world, Shawarma Press is attracting health-conscious consumers, fitness enthusiasts, and athletes who can frequent restaurants daily without sabotaging their health goals.
One of the company’s Core Values is Fitness Awareness, which Shawarma Press co-founder Dr. Ehap Sabri promotes by regularly running in marathons sponsored by Shawarma Press
Members of the fitness community in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex where the company is based are also choosing Shawarma Press entrees for post-workout meals and as part of their daily health regimens.
Max Khetpachernchai, the owner of The Fitsmith private training facility in Irving, said he partnered with Shawarma Press on a “secret menu” for his clients.
Shawarma Press is intent on becoming the go-to place for healthy, authentic, and innovative Mediterranean fare, including mouth-watering shawarma wraps consisting of all-natural chicken and premium beef, made-from-scratch falafels and hummus, and fresh soups, salads, bowls, and pastries.
Customer favorites include the “world famous” freshly made hummus as well as wraps to please all taste buds, including the authentic Chicken Shawarma, the spicy Tandoori Press Shawarma, and the media-featured Tex-Mex Press Shawarma.
The menu appeals to athletes such as competitive bodybuilder Louie Sullivan, who said regularly eating at Shawarma Press helps him achieve the daily nutrition requirements he needs to build muscles.
In addition to fitness enthusiasts and athletes, customers on restricted diets or concerned about allergies can take advantage of interactive nutrition calculators at Shawarma Press locations.
For guests worried about specific ingredients or overindulging, the nutrition calculator is another way the brand is educating customers about how they can enjoy dining out or choosing takeout as long as they select menu items wisely.
Co-founders Sawsan Abublan and Ehap Sabri, Ph.D., are committed to disrupting the fast-casual space.
They are the recipients of Fast Casual’s Top 100 Movers and Shakers award as well as the Innovation Award presented by Franchise Update Media for the Most Innovative Supply Chain.
The company stands true to its core values of Social Responsibility, Fitness Awareness, Integrity, Trustworthiness, and Excellence and has donated more than 20,000 meals to homeless shelters and non-profit organizations.
