## Summary

Spanian’s Kebabs has reportedly contracted from ten outlets to three, with its Newtown shop closed and its Kogarah store struggling. The rapid decline raises questions about the franchise’s viability, with franchisees bearing much of the financial risk after paying substantial fees to use the brand.

Suppliers say the remaining businesses are food trucks in Brisbane and Melbourne, plus the Kogarah shop, which has reduced staffing and deliveries. The Newtown outlet closed about nine months after opening, as reported customer numbers fell and online reviews criticised the food. Franchise rights reportedly cost between A$250,000 and A$350,000 plus GST for up to seven years.
