The fast-food chain Rapidos, part of the BBB Group, has opened a new kosher branch in the Gav-Yam High-Tech Park in Be'er Sheva. The new location, which required an investment of approximately NIS 700,000, follows a recent Rapidos opening in Eilat and brings the chain's total number of branches to eight across Israel. The Be'er Sheva restaurant spans about 140 square meters and can seat around 70 patrons. It will serve a kosher menu featuring Tex-Mex style street food, blending Mexican and American culinary influences. Offerings include crunch wraps, birria tacos, nachos with dips, chicken wings, chicken tenders, kids' meals, and vegan options.
Rapidos was acquired by BBB Group in early 2025, and the group has since focused on expanding its operations. The chain's existing branches are located in cities such as Tel Aviv, Netanya, Herzliya, Rishon LeZion, Nahariya, and Be'er Yaakov.
Ahuvah Turgeman, CEO of BBB Group, commented on the new branch, stating, "Be'er Sheva is a significant hub for innovation, employment, and young people, and Rapidos' entry into the Gav-Yam High-Tech Park is a natural connection for us between a crowd seeking quality, fast, and accessible food and a brand built precisely around these needs."
