Sticks Kebob Shop Fires Up New Franchising Opportunities
--Fast-Casual, Health-Conscious Eatery Targets Virginia to Florida for Expansion--
(Charlottesville, VA – Feb. X, 2022) – Charlottesville-based Sticks Kebob Shop, a Mediterranean-style
restaurant offering quick, healthy and affordable alternatives to fast food, is expanding through
franchising opportunities. The highly popular, fast-casual eatery has been approved for franchise
expansion in Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Florida.
Founded in 2000 from three partners with roots in the world of fine dining, Sticks Kebob Shop has
achieved success by offering fresh food options loaded with flavor and made from scratch. “We are
excited to bring the concept of ‘fresh food, fast’ to more health-conscious diners, foodies and families
on the East Coast,” said owner Chris DuBois. “We offer 20 years of a highly reputable and replicable
business model and a proven brand experience. Combine those with cost-efficient operations, and you
have a lucrative franchising opportunity.”
Roy Jones has joined the Sticks Franchising team to serve as C.E.O. and Managing Partner. Roy’s
extensive executive and field experience with Domino’s will provide invaluable operational knowledge
of both sides of the franchise relationship.
Sticks offers hand-cut chicken, beef sirloin, pork, shrimp, kibbeh, mixed vegetables and lamb fired up on
the grill, plus options like falafel, hummus, delicious dipping sauces, tabouleh, and fresh-squeezed
limeade that have all contributed to a cult-like following. The restaurant also offers many options for
dining, including dine-in, online ordering for carry out, catering, third-party delivery and events. Beyond
their tasty wraps, salads and platters, Sticks stands out as a community favorite by giving generously to
local charities and embracing environmentally friendly practices.
“We are a busy society that craves quick, healthy, fresh and affordable meals on the go,” said owner Ty
Austin. “We are able to meet all of these needs and more with our current business model and the great
care that goes into the quality of food that we serve and the overall customer experience. We have a
pretty amazing success story spanning 20 years to share with future franchisees.”
Sticks Kebob Shop currently has two locations in Charlottesville and one in Richmond. The goal is to have
20 additional locations on the East Coast by 2025. For more information about franchising opportunities,
