Naf Naf Middle Eastern Grill has announced a four-unit development agreement in Ohio. The deal brings the total number of units in development for the Chicago-based brand to 25, projecting five additional locations to open by the end of 2024.

Dhruv Patel, along with partners Pratik Patel and Viral Patel, the main operators behind Company LAXMI6714, will lead the Ohio expansion. The deal includes one location already open in the Independence, Ohio, market. The Patels seek to open an additional three locations over the next three years in Cuyahoga and Lake counties.

Naf Naf currently has 39 locations open across 13 states. Earlier this year, it announced a strengthened partnership with Love’s Travel Stops that would result in several store openings.
