In a way to increase the portfolio of Dunkin’ Donut in India, Indian master franchisee of the brand, Jubilant FoodWorks Ltd, plans to launch 100 outlets of it in next four years.
“We will open 80-100 Dunkin’ Donut outlets in the next four years to grow the brand. We are identifying locations where we can open these new outlets,” Jubilant FoodWorks CEO Ajay Kaul told PTI.
The franchise owner of Dominos Pizza claims that ratio of pizza chain in India is much higher than of the donuts.
“There are 600 outlets of Dominos but only 10 of Dunkin’ Donuts right now. Even when we open 80-100 more outlets, in terms of scale Dunkin’ Donuts will be smaller brand in Jubilant FoodWorks’ portfolio,” he said.
For Dunkin’ Donuts, the company would start opening outlets in the Western region. At present, all of its outlets are concentrated in the North India.
The company plans to open 125 Dominos outlets and 18 Dunkin’ Donut outlets with an estimated investment of Rs 250 crore in the current fiscal.

When asked about where the growth is coming from, Kaul said: “50 per cent of our growth is from top 10 cities like Delhi, Mumbai and Bangalore. But we are growing out network. This year we will enter 18-20 new cities to open Dominos outlets.”
