Franchising
Curry Up Now inks 6-unit Texas deal
November 10, 2020
Curry Up Now has signed a deal with a franchise group in the Dallas, Fort Worth and Austin areas to bring six restaurants and Mortar & Pestle craft cocktail bars to Texans. Curry Up Now operates 11 restaurants and three craft cocktail bars with nearly 50 restaurants in varying stages of development in major regions across the United States.
"We're proud to continue Curry Up Now's expansion to Texas with our new franchisee and are thrilled to be bringing our restaurant to Dallas, Fort Worth, and Austin," Akash Kapoor, CEO and founder of Curry Up Now, said in a company press release. "We have great franchise partners in Ankita Mehta, Kamlesh Modi, Ratnakar Mody, and Aryan Vig and we have full confidence that they will successfully grow the Curry Up Now brand in Texas."
The franchisees have secured their first location and anticipate opening in March of 2021 at The Grandscape, a large multi-use entertainment, dining and retail complex in The Colony, Texas. The Grandscape location will feature a Curry Up Now restaurant and Mortar & Pestle craft cocktail bar. Three other locations are slated for the Dallas-Fort Worth area and an additional two in Austin as part of their six-unit deal.
"What excites me about Curry Up Now is the menu and the way they construct/deconstruct the Indo- fusion concept," Mehta said in the release. "I love cooking and write a blog named 'Life Love & Curry.' What better opportunity would it be to partner up with a franchise sharing my passion. I was born and brought up in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, so bringing Curry Up Now here feels like bringing home a piece of my food culture, my dream, passion, and vision for a bright future."
