The Halal Guys are embarking on a significant expansion into South Carolina through a newly signed five-unit franchisee agreement. Shak Patel, who brings extensive experience as a multi-unit Potbelly franchisee and who is a long-time client represented by David Tschirhart of Legacy, is leading this initiative. Alongside business partners Vrund Patel and Robert Parks, they’ve established The Carolina Guys to drive the growth of The Halal Guys locations across Fort Mill, Rock Hill, and Columbia, South Carolina.
Founded in 1990, The Halal Guys have achieved substantial success with their gyro- and chicken-focused menu, amassing a network of over 100 locations worldwide. This expansion into the Carolinas represents a strategic move to introduce their renowned cuisine to new markets, leveraging the expertise and partnerships of experienced franchisees like Shak Patel and his team.
