His grandson Babu Singh Thakur helped grow the family business further in their Line Bazaar store and the peda came to also be called locally as the "Line Bazaar Peda". The family closely guards the recipe of the Peda as a [[trade secret]] which has been passing down the lineage. Babusingh Thakur's single outlet store that was running for a few decades expanded later in [[Dharwad]], [[Hubli]], [[Bangalore]], [[Belgaum]] and [[Haveri]]. In many other cities around India other confectioneries also sell Dharwad peda which is not connected to the Thakur family.<br />
