The trophy case at Curry Up Now headquarters just got a little more crowded.

The fine casual Indian franchise that’s changing the way people enjoy classic Indian flavors has been named to Entrepreneur’s annual Franchise 500 list for the first time, placing #430 on the list.

The Franchise 500 is an annual ranking of the top 500 franchising companies in the United States and Canada, compiled by Entrepreneur magazine. Brands who make the Franchise 500 are evaluated on five pillars of their business: Costs & Fees, Size & Growth, Support, Brand Strength, and Financial Strength & Stability.

Interested in why Curry Up Now made this prestigious list? Let’s look at each of the pillars:

  1. Costs & Fees

Curry Up Now has a conversion-friendly design with efficient systems in place behind the scenes. This allows franchisees to build at a low entry cost in the right space. Mortar And Pestle, Curry Up Now’s bar concept, allows franchisees to maximize potential profits if they decide to add on to their buildout. Franchisees have a greater control over what they spend to open their own Curry Up Now versus other brands.

  1. Size & Growth

With 20 locations currently open and 50 restaurants in development, Curry Up Now is the largest Indian franchise in the United States. The good news for potential franchisees? There are still some major markets available for expansion.

  1. Support

New franchisees receive best-in-class training from the Curry Up Now team. Before a new store opens, the franchisee receives on-site training at Curry Up Now headquarters in San Francisco, CA. IN the few weeks before opening, Curry Up Now will send members of their leadership team to a new location to train the staff. The care that Curry Up Now franchisees receive from the top is unmatched in the industry.

  1. Brand Strength

There is no competition for what Curry Up Now brings to the table. Their vibrant Indian flavors are unique, facing no competitors in franchising. The menu is healthy, featuring several options for vegetarian and vegan diets. Their menu is even halal friendly, offering several items that cater to this booming market. No executive chef is required thanks to Curry Up Now’s excellent systems, making it a brand built to resist any labor shortage. This is a brand that’s built to last.

  1. Financial Strength & Stability

Here’s a secret – want a surefire way to know if a franchise is financially healthy? Find out if their existing franchisees are opening new stores. Curry Up Now’s franchisees have expanded operations in New Jersey, Colorado, California and North Carolina. There are no signs of slowing down for America’s premier Indian fine casual franchise.
