Al Bhakta – Co-Founder and CEO of Genghis Grill

This is one of my favorite entrepreneurial stories ever! Four college friends bought a pool hall, grew it, sold it, used the money to buy a franchise, grew it, bought out the franchisor, and exploded it! The foursome now own over 270 restaurants around the US and grew Genghis Grill from six units to over 110 units in 23 states! At Genghis Grill, diners build their meals from a selection of fresh meats, vegetables, spices, and sauces. The  Grill Masters cook the food on a large, round grill in a matter of moments. Barely out of college, these college friends had little life experience and even less restaurant experience. On the night they opened, not a single customer stopped by to eat! And now an empire. See Al speak here…
