Union Square NYC Taboonette Middleterranean Kitchen is now franchising its Middle Eastern/Mediterranean style businesses. Owner Danny Hodak is working with Gary Occhiogrosso, of Franchise Growth Solutions, to grow the concern to 25 locations by 2021.
Occhiogrosso said, “Middleterranean foods combine the healthy oils, grains and proteins of the Mediterranean region with earthy spices and stuffed and skewered specialties of the Mid East to create created a cuisine all its own. Middleterranean specialties such as hummus, falafel and pocket foods: meat, seafood, and vegetable fillings stuffed into pita, are today’s go-to menu items — especially among dietary, yet flavor, conscious millennials.”
