Asian-Inspired Restaurant Opening In Hoover

HOOVER, AL — A new Asian-inspired restaurant is coming to Hoover this week, as longtime friends Anil and Chinmay Patel will open Teriyaki Madness Jan. 9. The Seattle-style teriyaki restaurant is located at 4741 Chace Circle, Suite 113 across the street from the Plaza at Riverchase shopping center.

Anil and Chinmay Patel are inviting locals out to celebrate the Teriyaki Madness grand opening with events beginning January 7 through January 12. The schedule of events and primary giveaways include:

January 7: This Sneak Peek training event gives customers the chance to try Teriyaki Madness’ famous chicken teriyaki bowls for FREE! The first 100 people between 11 a.m. and 12:30 p.m., and 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., will be offered a free entrée with the option to purchase drinks for $1 and appetizers for $2. This is a training exercise open to the public before the location officially opens for business.

• January 9 to January 11: All in-shop customers may enjoy $5 Junior and Regular Chicken Teriyaki Bowls.
• January 10: Grand Opening celebration event kicks off at 10:30 a.m. and the first five customers who order an entrée will win free bowls for a year, while the next 20 customers who order an entrée will win free bowls for a month.
• January 12: $1 from every regular bowl purchased will be donated to the Community Food Bank of Central Alabama.

Anil and Chinmay were university classmates in India back in 2006 before becoming business partners. Anil moved to Hoover after Chinmay had been living in Huntsville for several years, and the two began exploring business opportunities together.

“We wanted to go into the restaurant industry because I have experience as a cashier and a manager, so I already understood important aspects of this business,” Anil said. “The food, though, was the biggest point of emphasis for us. As soon as we tried it, we were sold on the quality of the menu.”

“In the past decade, we have been growing at a rapid pace, introducing mouthwatering, bold flavors in new communities. We are ecstatic to be opening up our second Alabama shop in Hoover,” said Teriyaki Madness CEO Michael Haith. “Anil and Chinmay are wonderful members of our franchise family and we are so excited to watch and support them as they champion the brand’s entry into this new market. Together, they will surely drive success in the state as Teriyaki Madness continues to expand beyond Hoover and throughout Alabama.”

Founded in 2003, Teriyaki Madness currently has franchise agreements in place for nearly 150 shops across the U.S.
