The opening of The Kebab Shop’s highly anticipated location at Valley Ranch Town Center in New Caney is currently on hold due to delays in obtaining necessary building permits. Originally aiming for a fall launch, the fast-casual Mediterranean restaurant’s debut remains uncertain as developers work through the permitting process.
A spokesperson for the center’s developer, The Signorelli Company, confirmed that the project is stalled pending the finalization of building permits. In an email sent on December 22, 2023, the developer indicated that no updated timeline for the opening has been provided, according to local coverage by Community Impact.
The Kebab Shop, based in San Diego, had secured a 2,400-square-foot unit located at 21856 Market Place Drive. The restaurant plans to offer a menu featuring fire-grilled skewers, wraps, and bowls, designed to cater to both dine-in and takeout customers. The developer has promoted the establishment as a build-your-own Mediterranean concept, emphasizing its appeal to a variety of dining preferences.
The arrival of The Kebab Shop is part of The Signorelli Company’s broader initiative to enhance dining and entertainment options at Valley Ranch Town Center. This effort includes attracting both national and regional tenants, as highlighted by reports from the Houston Business Journal. With a total of 55 locations, The Kebab Shop focuses heavily on bowls, wraps, and skewers, positioning itself as a notable addition to the area’s culinary landscape.
As the development team continues to navigate the permitting process, no new opening date has been announced. Residents eager for updates on the restaurant’s progress are encouraged to monitor The Kebab Shop’s official online channels as well as the developer’s news page for further information.
The delay in opening adds to a growing anticipation for the Mediterranean eatery, as local fans look forward to enjoying its offerings once the necessary permits are secured and construction proceeds.
