## Story

With 15 years of experience in the franchising space, Ayub is a perfect complement to the Balance Grille brand. Having owned and operated Subway restaurants and Marcos Pizza locations, as well as developing new Marcos Pizza’s in a new market as an area representative, his prior knowledge of the restaurant industry, specifically as a multi-unit operator, are an invaluable resource to the brand as they enter Dallas.

This development deal in Dallas is the first signed as part of Balance Grille’s national expansion efforts, led in partnership with brand consultant, Pivotal Growth Partners.

Founded by Prakash Karamchandani (PK) and HoChan Jang (CJ), Balance Grille is redefining the fast-casual space by providing a fresh and flavorful take on clean eating and Asian cuisine. The menu features unique flavor profiles and food pairings made with farm fresh ingredients and is focused on achieving overall balance and wellness, much like the Asian diet, which promotes eating plant-based greens, vegetables and whole grains with minimal meat and dairy. The menu is clean eating in its purest form and delivered through a Pan-Asian menu focused on a fusion of flavors and ingredients from all across Asia.

“We are thrilled to be expanding into the Texas for the first time,” said PK, Co-Founder of Balance Grille.“Dallas is a flourishing city and we are confident that Roshan is the perfect partner to help us lead the way in our expansion efforts in the area. We look forward to integrating into the community and sharing Balance Grill’s innovative approach to fresh, delicious Pan-Asian food in a tech-advanced environment.”
