Today we’d like to introduce you to Saurab Bhatia.
Hi Saurab, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I grew up eating Singas in New York. For me being in Texas for almost 12 years, and whenever I went to New York for work, I’d bring 10-12 half-cooked frozen pizzas back with me. That same half-cooked option will now be available to local customers as well, allowing guests to take pies home and finish them in their own ovens. This unique touch is a standard offering for the brand and surely will be loved by Houstonians as well.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
Not been a smooth road. Took me a year and 1/2 to get setup, with all the rules from the city, it took a while to get started. We have acquired the place back in April 2024 but could startup until November 2025. It been a bumpy road but hoping it goes well from here
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
