Restaurant entrepreneur Dhvani Vyas has signed a master franchise agreement to open more than 40 Nature's Table Café restaurants in the Washington, D.C., metro market. The first is set to open in the Tyson's Corner mall in March 2011.

Vyas was 7 years old when his family immigrated to the United States from India. He worked in various retail jobs since the age of 14 and after graduating from college, worked in the IT industry and hotel management. He then pursued a career in the restaurant industry as a franchisee consultant for Subway Corporation. In 2007, Vyas opened his own Subway restaurant in Greenbelt, Md. In 2009, Vyas created a European café concept, Aromi d' Italia Cafe, which opened in the National Harbor Resort development outside of Washington, D.C.
