Are there too many kebab shops in Germany? Why are so many new ones opening?

If you drive through Cologne, for example, you will see that one new kebab restaurant or kebab stand after another is opening.

Doner, doner. Doner – everywhere.

Personally, I find this irritating and excessive, especially since kebabs aren't "healthier" than hamburgers from McDonald's, Burger King, etc. But there seems to be a prevailing perception that a kebab fast food restaurant is a great "insider tip" for making money in Germany.

Here is a quote:

(…) There are now 16,000 kebab shops in Germany alone. Berlin, with over 1,000 shops, is "the capital of kebabs." According to the ATDiD association, 250 businesses in the German kebab industry supply 80 percent of the EU market. (…)

So, are there too many kebab shops in Germany? What do you think?

There is a reason there are so many. Apparently, they all keep themselves, so it’s not too many.

I don’t know how many times you leave the house, but they don’t stay, they’re in debt, they’re in dense and new dungeons are getting up. And that’s how it’s always been.

Personally rather rarely noticed. Of course, it is not possible to judge how this is in other cities. Actually, many dungeons don’t hurt, do they?

Never been a problem for me.

If you don’t want to have fewer dungeons and instead a little more multiculture. If you’re on the road in town and hungry, you’re not always a fool and it’s hard to find something else.

Döner is certainly less unhealthy than the cross-section of MCDonalds,BurgerKing etc.

Rest regulates the market

Fat meat, fat, strongly sugary sauce, white bread and homeopathic amounts of vegetables, which consists of 90% strongly sugared herb. What’s healthier about it?

Try to get a reasonable broiler or a bockwurst, really difficult.

You get diners or pizza at every corner.

There are too many and the quality is usually under all the sauce.

No, obviously the demand is there.

Germans love cheap, simply available food. The diner shops have it.

I can’t get excited about it at the best. The market is already doing this. As long as Döner is eaten so much, there will also be dönerbuden. This automatically becomes less when the demand falls. However, as many migrants find employment here, they do not even have an unimportant role in the economy.

I can also easily understand why the number of people in my city at least feels rising, although many complain about rising prices and therefore only rarely announce to go to diners. The market should be more than saturated.

There are many, especially since almost every pizzaria offers something diner-like with just like every 2nd dinery also pizza, burger and pasta.
Whether they are all profitable or not a part of them are simply money washing machines you are wondering if there are 5 shops in a street with the same offer that are still getting their goods from the same big supplier.

The bad shops, however, also tend to disappear again while the really good little gold mines are as everywhere. “Our” Dönerladen has been open for a long time, when fashion has spoken to the village and now in the hands of the next generation. More than 10 others have come and disappeared again, pressed, fried residual meat with finished sauce from the bucket obviously wanted no one, even if it was cheaper.
Well, the döner costs its 8.50€ but it consists of real meat, even regional. Self-baked breads, self-made sauces and a really nice, fast operation.

What I find a pity is the disappearance of the classic snack bars with lunch table, curry sausage and half cock. The Gyrosbuds have also become much less, but I do not mourn the mostly tough “rainworms”.

I don’t know how this is in other cities, but in my city it’s an open secret that all these shops are just serving money laundering. All have the same owner. He also runs a Shisha Bar and sat more often.

It’s really slow too much. On the other hand, you can only rarely get a normal bockworst or carving with rolls. Even you have to look for curry…😒

If you can’t do anything else you deserve to be with Döner.
