# The Flying Biscuit Café Signs Franchise Agreement in Nashville, Tennessee

## Story

Patel brings a background in supply chain management along with restaurant ownership and management experience, and will serve as a full-time owner-operator, overseeing the café’s day-to-day operations. She was introduced to Flying Biscuit by business partners who came across the brand while operating restaurants in another market and stayed connected to it after relocating to Nashville. What sold her was the food and the operating model — a full breakfast and lunch business that closes in the afternoon, with no dinner or late-night shift to staff.

South Nashville has seen steady residential growth and significant new investment in recent years, from GEODIS Park and the Nashville Fairgrounds to AJ Capital Partners’ 18-acre Wedgewood Village development and a 4,400-seat Live Nation venue opening this fall. Patel is aiming at a guest base of students, young professionals and area employees, with the Vanderbilt and Belmont campuses just beyond the neighborhood’s northwestern edge. The café will be the brand’s first in Nashville and its third in Tennessee, following Knoxville and Kingsport.

“We chose Flying Biscuit because we wanted to bring a fun, welcoming brunch experience to the Nashville community, especially the vibrant area around Vanderbilt and the surrounding corporate community. We’re excited to create a place where students, professionals, families, and friends can come together over great food and make it their go-to neighborhood spot,” said Shreya Patel, franchise owner.

When the café opens, guests can expect the menu Flying Biscuit is known for — all-day breakfast, shrimp and creamy dreamy grits, stuffed French toast, omelets, vegan scrambles, burgers and wraps — served from morning through the lunch hour.

“Shreya and her team are targeting the South Nashville Proper trade area, which continues to show strong growth and aligns well with the brand’s daytime, community-focused model,” said Andrew Scherzer, partner and director of franchise development, Flying Biscuit Franchising.
