Hungry Howie’s, the originator of the Flavored Crust pizza franchise, is excited to celebrate its first Fort Worth location, owned and operated by 27-year-old entrepreneur Jatinder “Jay” Dhaliwal. The new store is uniquely positioned within a newly built complex that includes a gas station and liquor store, creating one of the region’s most convenient “one-stop” shopping and dining destinations.
Located at 3301 East Berry, Suite 101, the store sits directly across from Renaissance Square, a major retail hub off Highway 287, serving a dense residential community, several nearby schools and Texas Wesleyan University just one mile away. The Hungry Howie’s footprint features approximately 680-square-feet within a 6,000-square-foot building that also houses a Chevron convenience store and a separate-entry liquor store.
Hungry Howie’s Fort Worth will celebrate with a series of in-store promotions and community-driven events:
- January 16–25: 51% off any large round pizza at regular menu price (online carryout orders only)
- January 19: Free medium 1-topping pizza certificate for the first 50 customers
- January 20: Gift card giveaway via Fort Worth Hungry Howie’s Facebook valued up to $150 for the winner’s next party
“People in Texas appreciate convenience, and we wanted to create a true one-stop destination to better serve this community,” said Dhaliwal in a statement. “Where else can you fuel up your car, grab a hot, freshly made pizza, and pick up drinks for the weekend, all under one roof? This concept has been my goal and I’m excited to see it come to fruition.”
Dhaliwal chose Hungry Howie’s after researching several franchise options and finding the brand especially willing to collaborate on a footprint of this size.
“From day one, Hungry Howie’s worked closely with us to design a layout that fit our space without compromising my vision,” said Dhaliwal. “The support has been hands-on, personal and extremely collaborative. It’s also one of the best pizzas out there. The flavor, quality and value surpass major competitors, and there’s huge potential to grow the brand in Fort Worth, especially among families and younger consumers.”
Originally from the San Francisco Bay Area, Dhaliwal comes from an entrepreneurial family. After earning a marketing degree from San Francisco State University, he spent the past two years building the Fort Worth complex from the ground up with support from his father. This marks the family’s third gas station business, their first in Texas, and their first venture into food franchising. Dhaliwal plans to expand Hungry Howie’s across the metroplex.
Despite being new to the area, Hungry Howie’s Fort Worth is already establishing itself as a community hub. Dhaliwal has installed a physical in-store community bulletin board where local organizations can display flyers for events, church programs, school activities and neighborhood announcements.
“This convenience center with our new Hungry Howie’s is meant to be the staple of the neighborhood,” said Dhaliwal. “We’re already planning academic recognition rewards for students, partnering with nearby schools and working with local churches on outreach events.”
Customers can enjoy pizza from the new Hungry Howie’s Fort Worth location Monday through Thursday from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Friday to Sunday from 10 a.m. to midnight.
