As January draws to a close, we’ve had some time to reflect and recover after a whirlwind end to 2024. November and December were packed full of festive fun, Christmas gift box launches, and seeing our Turkish sauces and marinades bring joy to so many of you over the holiday season. To recoup from the madness, we escaped on a trip to Thailand... but life had other plans for us. Unfortunately, severe food poisoning cut the recuperation short (not quite the start to the new year we’d imagined!). Nonetheless, being back home has reignited our energy and excitement for what lies ahead.
Celebrations and Team Shoutouts We also took a moment this month to celebrate Yuksel’s dad’s 79th birthday! A big milestone for the family and a wonderful reminder of what keeps us grounded.
While we were away, the fabulous Nancy (Lil’s cousin) stepped in and ran the ship like a pro, ensuring all your orders arrived smoothly. We’re thrilled to announce that Nancy will be officially joining the team as our Sales Manager starting in February! Exciting times ahead as we grow The Kebab Club together.

Big Plans Ahead
2025 is shaping up to be a transformative year for The Kebab Club. Here are just a few of the exciting milestones we’re working towards:
-
Expanding our Retailers: We’re in discussions to stock our products with some fantastic new retailers. Stay tuned to find out where you’ll be able to pick up our marinades, sauces, and more very soon!
-
Upsizing and Moving: The Kebab Club is growing, and with growth comes change. We’re preparing to move into a larger unit, complete with our first-ever office space. It’s a big step for us as we continue to build the brand and expand operations.
-
A New Core Product: We can’t spill all the beans just yet, but a new product is joining our core range this spring! It’s something we’ve worked hard to perfect, and we’re sure you’re going to love it.
Introducing Our Pantry Section
We’ve always wanted to make Turkish cooking more accessible and authentic for everyone. This year, we’re launching a brand-new pantry section on our website! You’ll soon be able to stock your cupboards with a curated selection of high-quality Turkish ingredients—perfect for elevating your meals and exploring new recipes at home.
What’s Next?
While January has been a time to reset and refocus, we’re diving headfirst into the months ahead. From product development to new opportunities and our ongoing mission to give Turkish cuisine the spotlight it deserves, we can’t wait to bring these plans to life.
We’ll be sharing updates, behind-the-scenes peeks, and of course, delicious new recipes along the way. Here’s to an incredible 2025!
