What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Desi District's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, Desi District Franchise Group, LLC has not offered franchises in other lines of business. However, the FDD indicates that one of Desi District's affiliates does provide products to franchisees. Desi District began offering franchises in June 2024.
This means that Desi District is currently focused solely on franchising its Indian fusion eatery and market concept. Prospective franchisees can be assured that the franchisor's efforts are dedicated to supporting and growing the Desi District brand within its defined market segment.
While Desi District itself has not offered franchises in other sectors, it is important to note that its affiliates have experience operating the Desi District concept. Specifically, Desi District, LLC has operated a Desi District in Irving, Texas, since 2016, and other affiliates operate locations in Little Elm, McKinney, Plano, Frisco and Houston, Texas. This suggests that while the franchising entity is new, the concept has been tested and refined through affiliate-owned operations.
