URBAN Fresh Burgers & Fries signs first franchisee

URBAN Fresh Burgers & Fries, a breakout brand in the QSR franchise market, is thrilled to announce the signing of its first franchisees, Meliha and Mehmet Candir. The pivotal agreement marks the beginning of the brand’s expansion through franchising, after the brand announced the opportunity in May this year.


Founded in 2017, URBAN quickly became a favourite for its fresh ingredients and ultimate customisability concept, with each of its four existing stores taking an average of £1 million in their first full year of trading.


Husband and wife Mehmet and Meliha are experienced entrepreneurs with successful backgrounds in the food and beverage industry.


Meliha, having worked as a General Manager at an existing URBAN restaurant, was impressed by the model and the pair were interested in opening their own unit as soon as the opportunity became available. “After seeing first-hand the potential that URBAN had to become a leading national brand, I knew becoming a franchisee was an opportunity we couldn’t pass up. We’re really looking forward to being a part of URBAN’s expansion journey and opening our own store later this year. The location we’ve picked out is vibrant, diverse and the perfect place for us to help grow the URBAN brand whilst we serve the tastiest burgers to even more customers.”


URBAN’s Managing Director, Mehmet Kent, said: “We’re thrilled to announce our first franchisee signing. Mehmet and Meliha’s commitment to quality food and service aligns perfectly with URBAN’s values and we’re confident their new store will be a huge hit. We’re seeing incredible demand at all our existing restaurants for dine-in as well as takeaway and we’re pleased to be able to offer new franchisees the opportunity to join our success, offering our full support to ensure they not only get off to the best start, but continue to thrive with us.”
