WHO RUNS IT?

Oodles is a family business which was initially established in Leicester, and spearheaded by Mohammed and Ismail; two brothers who spotted a gap in the market in 2010 - the lack of freshly cooked fusion and Eastern-inspired food.

The Oodles brand is a much sought-after franchise that’s evolving and growing at a rapid rate. Oodles will continue to see growth and expansion throughout 2022 with a further 15 branches planned as part of the brand expansion, in the new year.
