Founders and business objective
Founders Tony and Roushan Christofellis aim to make luxury foods affordable for everyone. The goal is to sell higher-end food at prices comparable to traditional fast-food meals.

Company history and related ventures
Angie’s Lobster was founded in 2022, coinciding with a year of high inflation. Tony and Roushan Christofellis previously founded Salad and Go and sold it in 2021. The new drive-through concept has been compared to Salad and Go, with the concept likened to Salad and Go, a drive-through selling salads for $10 or less, though the two brands are not currently related.
Expansion plans and rollout
Future plans include opening a location in Little Elm and six more restaurants in the Dallas-Fort Worth area by 2026. The Plano opening will be the first step in the company’s planned regional expansion through additional drive-through locations.
Operational format
The restaurant will operate a drive-through window and focus on quick-service convenience while offering menu items typically associated with higher-priced dining. The company frames the model as a way to deliver luxury proteins and seafood in a fast-food style format.
Context and market positioning
The new concept aims to disrupt traditional fast-food norms by combining premium proteins with low price points in a drive-through setting.
