Your Franchise, Our Expertise: Scaling Brands with Operational Excellence
At Chandi Hospitality Group, we’ve lived the franchise journey end to end. We’ve sat on both sides of the table—as hands-on franchisees who scaled from a single Mountain Mike’s Pizza into a multi-unit, multi-market portfolio, and now as experienced operators and master developers helping brands expand strategically across Northern California.
Our franchise story began with the purchase of Mountain Mike’s Pizza in Rohnert Park in November 2007, which we successfully operated and later sold in September 2018. That first restaurant laid the foundation for disciplined growth, operational rigor, and a deep understanding of what it takes to scale profitably.
Building on that early success, we expanded aggressively yet strategically
Santa Rosa (Santa Rosa Ave.) – Opened May 2009 and operating to present, developed from an existing restaurant and owned and operated by Chandi Family Inc. (CFI)
Healdsburg – Opened October 2009 and operated through March 2020; closed upon lease expiration when renewal terms no longer made financial sense
Petaluma – Opened October 2009 and sold June 2017
San Rafael – Operated from May 2012 through January 2016
Santa Rosa (Cleveland Ave.) – Opened June 2013 and operating to present; after being lost in the 2017 fires, the restaurant was rebuilt and reopened in a new location within 19 months, representing a $1M+ redevelopment project in partnership with the landlord

Santa Rosa (4501 Montgomery Dr.) – Opened June 2017; included property acquisition, conversion of a former Mexican restaurant, and development of one of the largest patios in the system, successful from day one
American Canyon – Opened July 2018, developed from a vanilla shell
Eureka – Opened April 15, 2020, developed from a vanilla shell and launched as one of the highest-revenue openings in the Mountain Mike’s system during the 2017–2019 period, owned and operated by CFI

Beyond Mountain Mike’s Pizza, Chandi New Restaurant Concepts has signed an exclusive development agreement with Planet Hollywood to develop Chicken Guy across nine counties, including a flagship location in San Francisco, marking our expansion into nationally recognized, chef-driven brands.
