The idea of Mediterranean food as a chain is nothing new. Take, for instance, Zoes, which has locations in New Jersey and around the country. But no one‘s done it like Hummus Republic.

There they have a variety of hummus selections, combined with their formatted offerings of bowls, pitas or wraps with a combination of ingredients making them the chipotle of Mediterranean cuisine.

It may not be as popular as Mexican but in a market like New Jersey, they could see rapid growth. They’re opening their newest location in Journal Square in Jersey City.

They’ve already got three other locations in Long Branch, Morristown and North Brunswick.
