## Story

Husband-and-wife franchising duo, Richipal Bindra and Sonia Kaur, are the local New Jersey franchisees opening the location. Their franchising journey with Schmackary’s began when they visited the location in NYC, and from then they knew they wanted to be a part of the story. As an entrepreneur and baker team, they were captivated by the brand’s “Old American Bake Shop” allure and signature Midwestern Hospitality customer service.

Bindra shared his excitement, saying: "Opening the first Schmackary's in New Jersey is a major milestone for our family. The pop-up event and overwhelming community support at the grand opening have shown us that the area is more than ready for Schmackary's! With Zach and Jonny's hands-on guidance, we feel confident as we begin this journey.

This is truly a family effort, and we're eager to make Schmackary's a cherished part of the community." Located just 30 minutes from the original Schmackary's, this new spot will serve as a hub where Broadway fans and dessert lovers alike can connect closer to home.

“It brings me great joy to celebrate the grand opening of our first franchise location in Englewood, New Jersey. Richipal and Sonia are exemplary franchisees whose dedication and enthusiasm embody the spirit of Schmackary's,” says Zach Schmahl, Founder of Schmackary’s.
