As more and more corporations relocate home and regional offices to Plano, the population reflects a growing diverse international flavor. Employees and families bring traditions and long for flavors of their homeland. For that satisfaction, many open restaurants here. This enhances the fabric of the North Texas region.

In fact, this is the story behind Old Town Food Factory. Sajid Jaafri, Old Town’s CEO, and his partner, Hussain Kedwaii, President, are both transplants to Texas. The later opened the highly successful Old Town Creamery in Plano six years ago. Business contacts brought the two together and they decided to open a combined ethnic food and ice cream restaurant almost four months ago. They just recently celebrated their ribbon cutting with the Plano Chamber of Commerce on October 15.
