The founder, Isht Sethi, has announced an aggressive expansion plan of 100 outlets; the brand is set to redefine quick, flavorful, and healthier fast food.As the QSR industry in India surges toward a projected ₹827 billion market by 2025, Texas Smokehouse is positioned to bridge the gap in the market with its authentic, slow-cooked smoked chicken offerings.

Fueling Growth through Investment & Expansion
The funding will drive Texas Smokehouse’s rapid expansion across North India, ensuring accessibility to every food lover craving rich, smoky flavors. The brand will scale up using state-wise Master Franchise, Company Owned-Company Operated (CoCo), Franchise-Owned Company-Operated (FoCo) and Franchise-Owned Franchise-Operated (FoFo) models, allowing efficient penetration into key metropolitan and Tier-1 & Tier-2 cities.
“The QSR industry in India is booming, and Texas Smokehouse is ready to tap into this momentum. Where all the QSR market is cluttered with deep-fried offerings, our unique smoked chicken combined with an affordable, high-quality menu, set us apart. We are now geared to expand aggressively and bring our brand closer to customers nationwide,” said Isht Sethi, Founder of Texas Smokehouse.
