    Shawarma & Mediterranean Franchise Real Estate

    Shawarma and Mediterranean is one of the fastest-growing franchise categories in Canada. New brands open every quarter. Summit REALTORS know which sites work for this category and which do not.

    What Summit does — and doesn’t

    Summit is a real estate brokerage specialising in franchise locations across Canada. We help you secure, hold, and exit the real estate underneath your franchise. We are not a franchise consultant or recruiter.

    We handle

    • Site search and site approval coordination for your franchise locations
    • Commercial lease review, negotiation, and renewal
    • Resale brokerage when it’s time to sell — confidential marketing, buyer prequalification, lease assignment
    • Coordination with the landlord, lender, lawyer, and franchisor real estate team

    We don’t handle

    • Franchise applications, brand approval, or franchisor selection criteria
    • Training, supply chain, operations, or marketing programs — those stay with the franchisor
    • Picking a brand for you — that’s a business decision we’ll respect, not influence

    Shawarma franchise market in Canada

    Canadian shawarma and Mediterranean franchises have grown sharply since 2020. The category includes both small kiosk concepts and full quick-service restaurants. Build-out costs run $250,000 to $750,000.

    Buying a shawarma or Mediterranean franchise

    Most shawarma concepts work well in food courts, plaza endcaps, and strip plazas with lunch traffic. Drive-thru is rare but starting to appear. Site decisions depend on lunch vs. dinner mix.

    Selling a shawarma or Mediterranean franchise

    Buyers want clear sales history, transferable lease, and standard equipment. The category is still scaling, so brand strength matters more here than in mature categories. Sale timelines run 4 to 9 months.

    Common mistakes shawarma franchise buyers make

    • Picking a site that depends on dinner traffic when the brand is built for lunch
    • Underestimating equipment costs for vertical broilers and rotisserie ovens
    • Skipping due diligence on the brand's actual unit economics

Backed by the Coldwell Banker brand, an independently owned and operated franchise with deep commercial and residential reach, our team reads a lease the way the operator does, scopes a site the way the franchisor does, and structures the exit the way the buyer will underwrite it.

    • Operator-side franchise real estate across food, retail, hospitality, fitness, and service categories
    • Site selection, lease review, and lease negotiation aligned to franchisor criteria
    • Resale brokerage, location takeovers, new-build site work, and sale-leaseback structuring
    • Backed by Coldwell Banker — an established global real estate brand and franchise network

    FAQ

    Frequently asked questions

    Quick, honest answers to what franchise buyers and sellers ask us most.

    Most shawarma and Mediterranean franchises cost $250,000 to $750,000 all-in. Smaller kiosk formats are at the low end. Full restaurants with seating are at the high end.

    Plaza endcaps, food courts, and strip plazas with lunchtime office traffic. Mixed-use buildings with residential above also work. Drive-thru is rare today but starting to appear.

    The category is growing fast in Canada and many brands have room for new locations. That said, growing categories also have more brand failure risk. Pick a brand with proven units before you sign.
