Rooted Here | Why Kash Jassal Chose the Restaurant Business

In this first episode of Rooted Here, we sit down with Kash Jassal to find out exactly why he chose the restaurant business. 

Kash has successfully scaled his OPA! of Greece footprint from a single store to four locations across Saskatoon, proving that a technical mindset and a community-first heart are a winning combination.

Kash pulls back the curtain on the "why" behind his career pivot. We discuss the transition from blueprints to business plans, and the reality of running multiple franchise sites.
