Fady Chamoun

As Chief Executive Officer, Fady Chamoun applies the values of servant leadership to everything he does. It doesn’t matter whether you’re a customer at one of his restaurants, an employee, or someone in the community who needs his support. Mr. Chamoun wants to do whatever he can to make your life a little better through your encounter with him.

Mr. Chamoun is best known in Northeast Ohio for Aladdin’s Eatery, the American-Lebanese restaurant concept he and his wife, Sally, debuted in 1994. Aladdin’s has gained a sterling reputation across the region, but it’s not the only company, nor is it the only type of industry, in which Mr. Chamoun has found success.

He owns and manages property in Lakewood, and has his eye on additional properties to add to his real estate portfolio. He built a bakery business that was used to deliver fresh ingredients and bread to Aladdin’s, then helped Jasmine Distributing become a 50,000-square-foot warehouse with a state-of-the-art production line that produces more than 100,000 pitas each week for restaurants and markets across the region.

He’s a civic leader, an activist, a philanthropist, a board member and a 2004 EY Entrepreneur Of The Year winner, just to name a few of his accomplishments. As with any entrepreneur, money matters to Mr. Chamoun, and yet, it’s never been his top priority.
