Curry Up Now is marking its one-year anniversary in the Salt Lake City area with a special thank-you for local teachers. Every Tuesday from Tuesday, March 2 – Tuesday, May 25, teachers and school staff are invited to visit a participating Curry Up Now location for a free bowl or burrito.*

Why:
Curry Up Now arrived in Salt Lake City one year ago with its Midvale grand opening and added a second location in downtown Salt Lake City last fall. Both locations are locally owned and operated by JRJ Eats, a Utah-based entrepreneurial family with exclusive rights to open the first 20 Curry Up Now locations across Utah and Colorado. The concept’s unique spin on traditional Indian cuisine, profitability outlook, and successful franchise business model are among the factors that inspired John Netto and his family to commit to becoming a Curry Up Now franchisee in the Rocky Mountain region.

“The Salt Lake City community welcomed us with open arms last year, despite challenges presented by the pandemic,” said General Manager Leo Outhenthapanya. “We have seen firsthand the impact that teachers make in the lives of their students and the entire Salt Lake City community, and many of these educators are making personal sacrifices to return to the classroom. Giving these dedicated teachers a delicious, hot meal every week during the spring semester is one way we can show a small token of our appreciation.”
