Taystee’s Burgers is expanding into franchising its gas station food business model - Eater Detroit
"Taystee’s Burgers — whose award-winning highly-stacked have origins in the back of a Dearborn gas station — is among the many halal-friendly spots that have opened over the years that have helped to redefine the region’s food culture. Now founder Ali Jawad is inviting those interested in developing a restaurant out of a gas station to consider joining the “Taystee’s Family.” Taystee’s began with humble beginnings back in 2014 inside a BP station at 10419 Ford Rd. in Dearborn and went on to gain recognition for its over-the-top creations such as its Notch-Yo-Burger — a behemoth made up of beef bacon, nacho cheese Doritos, pepper jack, Swiss, American, jalapeño, grilled onions, lettuce, and tomato. That monstrosity won Taystee’s the title of Detroit’s Best Burger in the 2016 Detroit Burger Brawl. A full-service Dearborn Heights location followed, along with a 2017 Eater “Cooking in America” Video, and earlier this year, Jawad was recognized on the Forbes 30 Under 30 List." - Serena Maria Daniels
