ASHINGTON, DC — KLNB has announced that Lebanese Taverna
will open three new “LebTav” fast- casual concept locations within the next two years: Ballston in fall 2019, K St. in early 2020, and inside the Pentagon in late 2020, in addition to the recently opened Farragut Square location on 17th St. in D.C. KLNB principal, Steve Combs , and retail specialist, KelleyMilloy , represented Lebanese Taverna in all three deals. Founded in 1979, the Lebanese Taverna Group currently owns and operates 12 locations around the
LebTav
Washington, D.C. Metro area, and has been recognized by numerous media outlets and publications as having the region’s best Mediter- ranean cuisine. KLNB has worked with Lebanese Taverna since the opening of its first location and has helped the restaurant group open all subsequent locations. The restaurant group is family-owned and operated. Recently, Lebanese Taverna has evolved to adapt to their customers’ changing tastes and needs. “The new LebTav brand and fast-casual concept is a response to these changing consumer trends,” said Combs. “For savvy business own- ers like Lebanese Taverna, that meant launching a new concept in target markets around the region. From a real estate perspective, it was critical to the business plan that we work with the owners to find unique spaces that reduced the restaurant group’s footprint and aligned with the fast-casual atmo- sphere they wanted to cultivate.” Last year, Lebanese Taverna rebranded three of their locations in Annapolis, Congressional Plaza Rockville, and Downtown Silver Spring to “Lebanese Taverna Ca- fes”. In each case, KLNB helped Lebanese Taverna find and move the restaurant to another space within the existing shopping center, cutting down their square footage. “We want to grow and change with our customers. LebTav is a refinement of what has been suc- cessful in the past. We took the greatest hits of our traditional menu and utilized smaller retail space paired with a fresh design to cater to our busy customers,” said Grace Abi-Najm Shea, executive vice president, Lebanese Taverna Group. “KLNB helped us bring this new concept to life. As a restaurant owner, the space in which you operate is critical to your business. KLNB has grown with us and we look forward to many more suc- cessful years to come.”
