Fazoli's, based in Lexington, Kentucky, will serve its Italian dishes to customers in Dallas-Fort Worth thanks to a three-unit deal with multi-unit franchisee, Sajib Singha, of Singha Group, according to a company press release.

A 20-year industry veteran, Singha began his career as an operational manager at KFC, where he worked 10 years before beginning his venture as a franchisee for Golden Chick in 2012. He now owns 17 restaurants — various Captain D's, Dairy Queen, Golden Chick, Papa John's and Schlotzsky's locations — within the DFW area.

"I've been looking to expand my brand portfolio for a while now, and Fazoli's really stood out to me as the perfect brand to franchise," Singha said in the release. "There is truly nothing like Fazoli's, and I am so excited to bring it to DFW. There's a location in Waco that I stop at every time I'm in the area. Where else can you order crave-able, premium Italian dishes in the convenience of a drive-thru? Guests will be amazed by the high quality food they receive for an incredible price. And, don't even get me started on the unlimited breadsticks!"

In addition to enjoying Fazoli's food, the brand's success in 2020 served as another selling point for Singha.

"With all of the challenges the COVID-19 crisis brought on the restaurant industry this year, Fazoli's has shown its strength," Singha said. "I've been really impressed by the business's continuous achievements, and it has become clear to me that it's a pandemic-proof brand. As a 30-year industry leader, Fazoli's has proved it has staying power."

Founded in 1988, Fazoli's owns and operates nearly 220 restaurants in 28 states.
