Aashiqui

“The name EleVen represents how I strive to live every day -- that is, without limits. In our world, ‘10’ is just another number, but EleVen is a lifestyle — it’s about challenging your status quo, embracing positive change, and pushing beyond whatever is holding you back from living your ideal life. We all have stories about reaching seemingly impossible goals, especially in the face of fear and doubt. Being an EleVen is about making those stories the rule, rather than the exception. Ask yourself: ‘what else is out there for me?’ Not sure? Good. Get up and go find out. We’ve got your back.”

X was not originally from where his brand started. He was born in Henryville, Indiana. He forged his birth certificate and enlisted in the army in 1906. He was sent to Cuba as a mule driver.

After his army service he changed a lot of jobs, mostly due to his faults. He got into the restaurant business when the owner of the Shell gas station he was working at allowed him to operate rent free. He used to serve customers food from his own kitchen.

His delicacies became so popular that he wounded up in direct competition with local restaurants. The rest is history.
