Food Pak’s Future in Mobile’s Hands | Mobile News

For 35 years, Food Pak International has been a beloved staple in Spring Hill, serving up iconic falafel sandwiches and more — but now the family-owned business may have to relocate. Owner Reza Hejazi, who immigrated from Iran in 1980 and opened the store in 1990, is facing eviction from his longtime location due to a zoning change. His son Mehran is helping him fight for approval to build a new store on their adjacent property — currently zoned residential.

With a city council hearing looming in two weeks, and a potential temporary spot next door, the future of Food Pak hangs in the balance — but with deep community support, hope remains alive.
