Twin Peaks, the sports pub and restaurant franchise, has announced new expansion moves.
New franchisees Arun Ramalingam and Priya Magudeswaran, a husband and wife duo, have inked a deal for the development of five locations. The move will result in the Dallas, Texas-based brand entering markets in South Dakota and Montana while expanding the banner in North Dakota.
“Joining Twin Peaks is an exciting opportunity, and we’re eager to bring its unique dining experience to these three states,” said Ramalingam, co-franchisee. “We see tremendous growth potential in these markets and are dedicated to establishing vibrant, memorable experiences for all our guests.”
Twin Peaks has 114 locations in the United States and Mexico.
“It’s an honor to welcome Arun and Priya as key players and leaders in our success strategy in these untapped markets,” said Joe Hummel, CEO of Twin Peaks. “Their exceptional business acumen, leadership and commitment to excellence align perfectly with our brand’s values. As we continue our aggressive expansion strategy, Arun and Priya’s success in growing their restaurant portfolio speaks to their ability to execute at the highest level. We’re confident they will play a key role in the ongoing success of Twin Peaks in these exciting new markets.”
The franchise also reported that a new location will open this March in Algonquin, Illinois this March, marking the forth Twin Peaks location in the state.
“This new location will be the go-to spot for fans to gather with friends and family to enjoy great food, drinks, and game-day excitement,” said local franchisee Michael Paulhus of Dos Montes Algonquin, LLC. “We look forward to hosting a ribbon cutting and grand opening in March to celebrate with the community.”
Twin Peaks Algonquin will offer wall-to-wall game coverage with over 65 massive TVs. The lodge will also include two full bars, three indoor fireplaces, an outdoor firepit, covered and uncovered patios and a VIP lounge, creating the ultimate hangout spot for every season.
The company’s plans for 2025, as outlined last month, also include franchise openings in Alabama, Colorado, Georgia, Pennsylvania and South Carolina.
Twin Peaks locations continue to provide a diverse menu. This includes signature dishes like the Peaks Sampler, Philly Cheesesteak, Smokestack Burger, flatbread pizzas and fan-favorite Smoked and Grilled Wings. Guests can pair their meals with specialty cocktails like the Bourbon Espresso Martini with an Elijah Craig Toasted Barrel Bourbon base, the Mezcal Passion Fruit Mule or Spicy Strawberry Margarita. For beer drinkers, guests can grab their choice drafts out of 32 options served at a frosty 29 degrees.
