Today we’d like to introduce you to Naser Fazlullah.
Hi Naser, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I was born in Bangladesh, a nation known for resilience, innovation in microfinance, and the strength of its people. Growing up in a culture shaped by perseverance and community values, I learned early the importance of sacrifice, hard work, and service. Those principles became the foundation of my life.
In pursuit of education and opportunity, I came to the United States, a country I deeply admire for its freedom and leadership in knowledge. I earned my Associate of Science degree from Bishop State Community College and continued my studies at University of South Alabama and University of Southern Mississippi.
I built over a decade of corporate leadership experience with Krystal Company, where I focused on team building, operational efficiency, and profitability. With that experience, I transitioned into entrepreneurship and have now spent more than ten years successfully operating my own small business and managing real estate investments.
Along the way, I felt a growing responsibility to give back. Serving on the board of the Memphis Oral School for the Deaf and holding leadership roles within the Republican Party of Shelby County has allowed me to contribute to my community in meaningful ways. My journey has been guided by three principles: transparency, accountability, and prosperity.
From Bangladesh to America, from corporate management to entrepreneurship and public service, my story is one of gratitude, resilience, and a commitment to serve wherever I am called.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
It has certainly not been a smooth road, but every challenge shaped who I am today.
Coming from Bangladesh to the United States meant starting over in many ways. Like many immigrants, I faced cultural adjustments, financial constraints, and the pressure to prove myself in a competitive environment. There were long days balancing education, work, and family responsibilities, often with very little margin for error.
In my corporate career at Krystal Company, success did not come overnight. Managing teams, controlling costs, and increasing profitability required discipline, resilience, and the ability to learn from failure. Transitioning from corporate leadership to entrepreneurship brought its own risks: investing my own resources, navigating economic downturns, and carrying the weight of responsibility not just for my family but for employees who depended on me.
My 2014 run for county commissioner was another humbling chapter. It was not successful, but it taught me valuable lessons about leadership, perseverance, and the importance of long-term commitment to community service rather than short-term outcomes.
Through each challenge, my faith, my family, and the values instilled in me, sacrifice, share, and serve, kept me grounded. The road was not smooth, but it was purposeful. And every obstacle strengthened my resolve to contribute meaningfully to the country that has given me so much.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your business?
In addition to my real estate and investment work, I am the proud owner of L & S Fish and Hotwings, a true landmark in the Whitehaven community. For 37 years, it has been serving Memphis and the surrounding areas, and it is much more than a restaurant. It is a gathering place.
What brings me the greatest joy is not just serving food, but serving people. Many of my closest friendships were formed through this business. I love spending time there, engaging with customers, especially young people, asking about their goals, encouraging them to dream big, and reminding them to give back to their community.
For me, business is not just about transactions. It is about relationships, mentorship, and building a sense of family. That is the heart of my brand
So maybe we end on discussing what matters most to you and why?
What matters most to me is the future of our children and our city, Memphis.
There was a time in the 1950s when Memphis stood among the most vibrant and respected cities in this country. I truly believe we can rise again, not just to compete with cities like Atlanta, Houston, or Dallas, but to surpass them in opportunity, safety, education, and economic growth.
What concerns me most is when young people lose hope. A hopeless human being can become destructive, not because they are bad, but because they feel forgotten. If we invest in our children, mentor them, create jobs, strengthen families, and restore pride in our neighborhoods, we build a stronger and safer future for everyone.
Taking care of our children is not charity; it is a strategy. It is the only way we secure a better tomorrow.
