Allens has advised the founders and shareholders of El Jannah on the sale of the business to global growth investor General Atlantic. The transaction marks a significant milestone for the business and positions it for continued expansion with the support of General Atlantic.
Founded 27 years ago, El Jannah has grown from a single store in Western Sydney to a leading quick-service restaurant brand with more than 50 stores across New South Wales, the Australian Capital Territory and Victoria.
'We are delighted to have supported El Jannah and the Estephan family on this significant transaction and are excited to see the company's future expansion,' said lead partner Tom Story.
'This transaction signals continued momentum in private equity investment in the quick-service restaurant sector.'
Allens' work with El Jannah builds on the firm's experience in the sector, following recent roles including Adamantem Capital's acquisition of Retail Zoo in 2023.
