While most of the locations are in Canada, the first U.S. location in Miami opened just over a year ago. Two more in Miami have opened since, along with an additional location in Buffalo.&nbsp;Immigrant-turned-entrepreneur Sam Osmow, who is also the founder, combined his education in accounting and business with his love for culinary arts and opened Osmow’s first location in 2001.&nbsp;Sam is so dedicated to introducing people to Middle Eastern cuisine that he even bought the rights to<a href="https://businessviewmagazine.com/brochures/feb-2022/osmows/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=franchise-deep-dive-osmows-inc-franchise-costs-fees-profit-and-data-2723676" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"> National Shawarma Day</a> on October 15.&nbsp;<h3>What Is the Osmow’s Business Model?</h3>Osmow’s is a QSR chain that offers Shawarma wraps, signature creations such as Shawarma poutine, salads and signs.
