The US-based restaurants Starbucks and Shake Shack may be bringing themselves to Israel, according to Arutz Sheva. Harel Wiesel, the owner of the Fox Group, is in talks to establish a partnership with Yoram and Ari Yerzin - both who own multiple successful restaurants. Starbucks was sold in Israel from 2001-2003 but the coffee chain never caught on with Israeli public.“This time Starbucks may succeed in Israel after changing its image in recent years, upgrading its types of coffee and expanding its range of baked goods and food, and the increase in the number of tourists coming to Israel who are used to the chain adds to its attractiveness,” according to Israel’s Arutz Sheva.Shake Shack - the fast food chain from New York - sells hamburgs, fries, hot dogs and milkshakes across 12 countries. Neither restaurant is kosher and no word if they'll have kosher options here, in Israel.
