Skewerz Kebabz wants to widen growth with fast casual model
Know more about how the Mediterranean chain wishes to change the way Aussies view local kebab shops. For Skewerz Kebabz, speed of service, simple decision-making, affordable price range, and portability are their key elements to serve and attract more customers as they are made aware of consumers’ “growing expectations”. “With increasing food options available across just about every shopping centre, the power really is with the consumer,” Dean Vella, executive director at Aktiv Brands, said. Consumers, he added, are now also willing to take risks with something they haven’t tried before. To provide these demands they constantly create ‘limited time only’ offerings to tell their customers that there’s always something new going on.
