More stores to follow in the next few months
Home-grown UAE-based fast food chain Just Falafel has opened its first US franchises in San Francisco, California, the company announced in a media statement on Thursday. As the first of 168 franchises to come in North America and Canada, the company said it has reached a major milestone in its international expansion with the new restaurant located in Fremont, close to Silicon Valley in the San Francisco Bay Area.
The company has signed new area franchise agreements with different partners in key locations including New York, New Jersey, Kentucky, Texas and Los Angeles. This global expansion means the company has close to 700 employees in nearly 20 countries, with a social media following of nearly 2 million.
To mark its new store location on the west coast of America, the company’s culinary chef Gerard Murphy created “The Californian,” taking inspiration from his surroundings to mix traditional falafels or tenders, with fresh beets, cucumber, tomato, mixed salad, beetroot labneh, and a spicy salsa.
The restaurant will also be putting new items on its menu, including a protein burger and sweet potato waffle fries.
Catering to the health and nutritionally conscious Californian, it will also offer a gluten free option by serving its traditional wraps in a bowl.
New store owner Kevin Shoaito is proud to bring the first Just Falafel restaurant in North America to the community in Fremont, California.
The UAE chain which claims to have sold nearly 19 million pieces of falafel since the brand started has plans to open branches in Canada in June 2014 and New Jersey in August 2014.

I can see this happening. But Kentucky? Texas?
Can’t see that. Nope. Good luck with that.
There are lots of Mideast restaurants around,and they are very popular.

on Hanassi St. in Haifa is a vendor selling them out of an alcove near the Dan Hotel. Recommeded highly. Know what you want before ordering and he has only a little English.

Gonn'a be crowded
What would keep the UAE from buying Cracker Barrel just to trick you?
That’s only a tenth of the amount of Starbucks.
mmmmm mmmmm mmmmm.....it’s Finger Chopping Good!!
There are Muslims everywhere. I see hijabs and burkahs at Kroger and Wal-Mart every time I go there.
Yes, but the bacon has to be halal bacon. I think it’s carried at Costco, right next to the Kosher smoked hams. :=)
Coming Soon.....Camel Schlong on a Stick

Beat me to it.
I was going to say Falafal is Falawful.
