Shawarma Press® Celebrates National Shawarma Day With $7 Shawarmas At All Locations On October 15

IRVING, Texas, Oct. 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Shawarma Press, the nation's first authentic award-winning Shawarma franchise, is celebrating National Shawarma Day on October 15 by offering significant savings to customers at all locations. Regularly priced at $10.99, the Chicken, Beef, Tandoori, Falafel, and Tex-Mex Press™ shawarmas will be offered at just $7 all day long. CEO and co-founder Sawsan Abublan said the discount is expected to entice loyal customers as well as newcomers who are interested in authentic Mediterranean cuisine.

"On National Shawarma Day, customers can enjoy traditional favorites such as the premium Beef or Chicken shawarmas or our signature fusion options such as the spicy Tandoori Press™ or Tex-Mex Press," she said. "And for those who are not interested in wraps, shawarma can also be enjoyed as a delicious topper for salad, rice, and fries."

National Shawarma Day is observed annually on October 15 to increase awareness of the popular street food that traces its origins back to Turkey as early as the 18^th century. Shawarma was born of a tradition in the Middle East of slowly roasting thin slices of chicken or beef arranged in cone-like shapes on a rotisserie. Seasoned with fragrant Mediterranean herbs and spices, the meat is usually added to a pita wrap and slathered with a variety of flavorful toppings and sauces. In the U.S., the Mediterranean restaurant industry which includes shawarmas, is continually gaining popularity with restaurant reports estimating sales of $33.4 billion this year.

Although shawarmas are often the main attraction, Shawarma Press also offers traditional Mediterranean items such as Shawarma wraps, made-from-scratch falafels, hummus, and fresh soups, salads, ice cream and pastries. New menu items include the Supreme Wrap with three proteins and seven toppings as well as Spicy Lentil Soup, Spicy Hummus, and Spicy Garlic Sauce. The company recently announced an exclusive collaboration with Zalatimo Sweets, the heritage and renowned Middle Eastern confectioner, for a new premium dessert line. Impress' La Desserts is available at participating Shawarma Press locations and includes Assorted Traditional Baklava and Assorted Traditional Maamoul Cookies.

Since opening the nation's first authentic Shawarma franchise with headquarters in Irving, Texas in 2017, Shawarma Press franchises have expanded throughout Texas in Arlington, Denton, Frisco, Georgetown, Plano, and San Antonio. The brand's flagship restaurant thrives in the downtown Dallas Arts District while the first of several planned Georgia restaurants opened last year in the metropolitan Atlanta community of Johns Creek, followed by a recently opened digital kitchen in Midtown. In addition, a new location in Lawrence, Kansas is slated to open on November 1. The brand offers traditional Mediterranean items such as Shawarma wraps, made-from-scratch falafels, hummus, and fresh soups, salads, and pastries, but is continually making a mark within the industry by introducing new, exciting fusion dishes to the menu.
