Tunday Kebabs’ foray into franchising!!

‘Tunday Kebabs’, a 105 year old scrumptious speciality from the City of Nawabs is on the way to franchise its outlets across India. Owned by a family which had a humble beginning from a kebab-parantha shop in 1905 in Lucknow has now become the most renowned name ‘Tunday Private Ltd’. Mohammad Usman, Chairman of the company decided to enter into the franchise business arrangements across the globe. M/S U.S. Eating Point is the first one to take up the franchisee. The franchised outlet is situated at a strategic location on the main picnic spot road in Khurram Nagar in Lucknow. M/S U.S. Eating Point, which has taken the franchise is a venture undertaken by two young NRIs Uzair and Shakil, who decided to say good bye to their respective businesses in Sharjah and return to their roots here. With an aim to make it global they are confident of going ahead with plans to have franchises not only across India but even abroad soon, particularly countries where the melt-in-the-mouth 'Galavati Kebabs' are already in great demand among NRIs. Usman's next destination will be Bangaluru, where Abdul Rehman Khan has already sought a franchise arrangement to take it to new heights. Tunday Kebab was a ramshackled shop in a remote corner of Lucknow before Mohammad Usman started an outlet in Aminabad in 1996. It is due to his desire to become global that now the business has gained a corporate identity. In order to give a brand identity to their products they wish to standardise the ingredients to ensure the quality and standard of food with every franchisee. The mouth-watering Kebabs will have its own logo and trade mark, 'Tunday's', with Lucknow's famous Roomi Darwaza in the backdrop.
