The chain recently announced they would be returning to the valley. Fazoli’s, has signed a multi-unit franchise agreement with local restaurateur Nava Singam of Kind Hospitality. Their first location is scheduled to open in Terminal 4 at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport next month.
In March, Singam finalized an agreement with Fazoli’s to open nine restaurants in the Valley beginning in 2023 through 2024. With the growth in Arizona and the Phoenix market, the brand is expected to succeed after they have adjusted and elevated all aspects of the guest experience, from new menu items to the excellent tableside service
