The Halal Food Shop

What The Halal Food Shop does

The Halal Food Shop is a UK-based direct-to-consumer (B2C) e-commerce retailer operating under the parent entity The Halal Family Group. The company sells halal-certified food products — including fresh/chilled meat and poultry, frozen foods, food cupboard staples, dates, halal drinks, and confectionery — to consumers across the United Kingdom via nationwide delivery. The primary customer segment is UK Muslim consumers seeking HMC-certified halal products for daily and occasion-based consumption.

The platform is built on Shopify and aggregates products from over 100 third-party halal brands (including Al Barakah Meats, Mr Burger, KQF, Shan, Jilani's, and others). Fresh meat is cut daily on the day of dispatch by Al Barakah Meats and delivered in temperature-controlled vacuum packaging, providing a cold-chain capability that supports the freshness positioning. All meat and poultry products are certified by the Halal Monitoring Committee (HMC), which serves as the trust credential underpinning the brand.

The business model is straightforward unit-based DTC retail: individual products are priced per unit (e.g., £5.49 for chicken wings), with no subscription or membership tier. Marketing is conducted through the e-commerce website (organic search / SEO) and an email newsletter. No mobile app, no third-party marketplace presence, no wholesale or B2B channel, and no social media presence are disclosed. Revenue, headcount, funding, and ownership details beyond the parent-group relationship are not disclosed in the available data.
