Turks: One of the Country’s Fastest Growing Food Franchise

You’ve probably already had a bite of this famous snack, or at the very least, seen one of its famous ads featuring one of the country’s leading heartthrobs – Piolo Pascual. If you guessed it right, then yes, we are talking about Turks Shawarma – the famous Middle Eastern food company that managed to conquer the palates of the Filipino people.

Photo from Turks Facebook Page

With humble beginnings that dated way back in 2007, Turks Shawarma started with a mere, single food cart. Fast forward to today, it is one of the most popular and leading shawarma brands in the Philippines. With its iconic advertisements starring Piolo Pascual that started around 2017, most experts agree that this bold move from a small company back then like Turks was a bold move. Eventually, it paid off, as its current success seems to be worthy of the estimated 6-digit figure as an endorsement fee for the beloved actor.

Photo from Turks Facebook Page

The concept of grilling meat by turning it around in a rotisserie is claimed (by some) to have been invented in Turkey, where it’s called Doner Kebab. When this awesome delicacy begun spreading to the Middle East, it got the name Shawarma, from the Arabic word “turning”. This led to Turks to drop the word ‘shawarma’ off their menu, settling with ‘doner’, which is the actual Turkish name instead.

Photo from Turks Facebook Page

Now with over 300 stalls and stores nationwide, Turks is continuously and steadily growing. If you are interested to be part of that, here’s what you need to know:

What’s the Turks Menu?

The famous Turks Menu include:

  • Kebab Wrap
  • Kebab on Rice
  • Beef and Chicken Pita Doner
  • Beef and Chicken Doner on Rice
  • Donner Platter
  • Doner Steak
  • Quesadilla

What are the Requirements for a Turks Franchise?

  • Turks Take-Out: Between 11 to 15 square meters
  • Turks Food Stall: Between 15 to 30 square meters
  • Turks In-line: Minimum of 20 square meters

Cost:

The estimated average cost for a Turks franchise fee ranges from P1 million to P1.4 million, and this does not yet include the other investment which are required. Turks claims that the total investment can actually range from P1.6 million for a Turks food cart or stall, and up to P3.4 million for a full Turks store.
