## Story

Franchise partners Mohit Kishore and Tulshi Bhakar have found something they like with Potbelly Sandwich shop. Now the two are opening their third location in the Triangle area of North Carolina, this time in Cary. Their new Potbelly will be in the Parkside Town Commons shopping mall, a well-known shopping and entertainment hub in Cary.

“Community members in the Triangle have welcomed Potbelly with open arms over the last couple of years – first with our shop in Morrisville and then with our recent opening in Durham,” said Kishore, a Cary resident himself. “We’re excited to continue the momentum as we grow into Cary and even more of the community is introduced to our delicious sandwiches, soups and shakes.”

Kishore, who has more than 25 years of restaurant industry experience, and Bhakar opened their second Potbelly in Durham, North Carolina in July of 2020 and their first, in Morrisville, North Carolina, in 2017. The partners plan to open at least one more shop in the Raleigh/Durham market as part of their multi-unit franchise agreement.
