## Story

The new location, the brand’s second in Texas, will be located at the growing North City development in Alliance – one of the largest mixed-use developments in the southwest.

“We couldn’t have asked for a better location and a better team for our next location in the great state of Texas,” said Curry Up Now CEO Akash Kapoor. "Being a part of mixed-use developments like this allows us to really establish ourselves as a part of the community. We’re so excited to continue to connect with new customers.”

The female-owned franchise group leading the charge on the development of this location is Ekam Gourmet Kitchens, LLC – led by Samyuktha Kilaru and Kiran Khajuria. The seasoned professionals boast more than 25 years of experience in logistics and customer service, including Kilaru’s experience working in the food business.

“We’re beyond excited to have found the perfect location to bring this concept to Fort Worth,” said Samyuktha Kilaru. “North City is the kind of development we’d been targeting, and it will be the perfect home to display the dynamic flavors and bright energy that makes Curry Up Now such an exciting experience. The people of Forth Worth are really going to love it.”
