What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to the 2024 Desi District Franchise Disclosure Document, the current focus is in Texas. Specifically, there are five locations in the greater Dallas, TX area. Additional locations are in Irving, Little Elm, McKinney, Plano, Frisco/Prosper and Houston, TX.
Desi District locations are strategically placed in markets where the customer demographic aligns with the brand's territory guidelines. These guidelines likely consider factors such as population density, income levels, and the presence of a target customer base interested in Indian fusion cuisine and grocery items. The FDD mentions that franchisee locations should be highly visible and in areas with upscale demographics, as outlined in the territory guidelines.
Prospective franchisees should note that while the current focus is in Texas, Desi District is open to expanding to other regions. Franchisees will need to identify locations that meet the franchisor's criteria for visibility, demographics, and traffic. Reviewing the territory guidelines mentioned in the FDD and discussing specific location requirements with the franchisor will be crucial steps in the site selection process.
