WASHINGTON,
January 10, 2022 (Newswire.com) –

Entrepreneur Ahmad Ashkar converts award-winning barbecue brand District BBQ to a complete halal quick service restaurant (QSR). After years of popular demand, the Washington D.C. metro is getting a halal barbecue smokehouse. With upwards of close to 500,000 Muslims currently living in the region, restaurateur and founder – Ahmad Ashkar says the decision to go halal in 2022 is easier than ever. “Halal is the new vegan. Consumers are demanding a more ethical, socially and economically aligned option, and that’s exactly what halal offers. Muslim Millennials and Gen-Z are favoring halal options at a higher rate than their parents, and for the first time, thanks to national brands like The Halal Guys, we are seeing demand coming from outside the Muslim consumer market.”
