Kamran Kurani has opened his third Pizza Hut Wing Street franchise in the Rome area at 5 North Fourth Street in Lindale. Kurani also owns the PizzaHut/Wing Street restaurants on the Martha Berry Highway in Rome and on Joe Frank Harris Parkway in Adairsville.

“So far so good, it’s much better than we expected,” Kurani saiod of his first two weeks in the Lindale location. He said that the Lindale store does not have walk-in seating, but provides both delivery and take-out services. “I think that’s pretty much what we’re going to build from now on. It’s a lot easier and more cost effective,” Kurani said.

At this point the Lindale location has nine employees but Kurani said he expects to add more as the business grows. “We’ve been growing each week,” Kurani said.

He hopes that his next Pizza Hut/Wing Street will be located in the West Rome community. “I haven’t identified a site yet but that’s my next project,” Kurani said. He indicated that he hopes to have a new West Rome shop open by late in the summer of 2013.

The Lindale shop is open Sunday- Thursday from 11 a.m. - 10 p.m.; Friday-Saturday from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. People can call the restaurant at 706-291-0470.
