Our Story

Board of Directors

The Falcons Group came to be in Fall 2018 with the acquisition of 16 TGI Fridays located in the Midwest by Co-Founders Ali Chunara and Shamsu Charania.

Both Founders had years of experience as quick-service restaurant operators, but this was their first venture into casual dining. But, as the saying goes, “Fortune favors the brave,” and despite the challenges and growing pains, the investment soon became prosperous and laid a strong foundation for future growth.

Since then, The Falcons Group has quickly expanded to operating over 90 locations in 7 states while owning several of its real estates. Moreover, The Group has become the largest Checkers & Rally’s franchisee in the brand within 2 yrs of entering the system.
