In the bustling world of the restaurant business, franchising a brand that’s well-recognized is a formidable step, and that’s exactly what the father-and-son duo, Karim & Nadeem Rajani, have embarked on. They’ve recently become proud franchisees of Mountain Mike’s Pizza to be located at 24320 Northwest Fwy Suite 100, Cypress, TX 77429, marking their inaugural venture into the restaurant industry and the brand’s franchising realm.
While for many, the combination of pizza and LED lighting might seem unusual, for Nadeem, who owns an LED lighting company, and Karim, who is employed by e-commerce giant Amazon, it represents an innovative fusion of diverse experiences. These diverse backgrounds promise to bring a fresh perspective to the Mountain Mike’s franchise.
Their commitment to the brand is evident in their ambitious plans. The Rajanis’ journey towards this venture started back in 2016 when they first considered the idea, but now have struck a multi-unit deal for three locations specifically in the Cypress market. However, they have the capability and vision to manage 5-7 locations. Their target is to establish 10-15 outlets across the Houston Metro in the end, and exploring territories outside of Houston.
What’s particularly enticing about Mountain Mike’s Pizza is its blend of uniformity with customization. While each franchise must adhere to specific guidelines to maintain the brand’s integrity, there’s room for a local touch. Every location has its unique guidelines, but there’s an opportunity to add a local flare, such as a wall that resonates with the community it’s situated in.
Further emphasizing community integration, Mountain Mike’s Pizza has a history of forming robust partnerships with local sports teams. This community-centric approach enhances the brand’s local appeal, and with the Rajanis’ leadership, Houstonians can look forward to an experience that seamlessly marries global brand standards with local tastes.

The doors are expected to open in March 2024, ready to invite the people of Arlington in on this new venture.
