New Delhi, March 27 – Jubilant Foods, a leading operator in the quick-service restaurant (QSR) segment, has announced plans to expand its Domino’s Pizza network in India to 3,000 outlets over the next three years. The company also aims to scale up its American fried chicken brand, Popeyes, with the launch of around 250 new outlets during the same period.
According to CEO and Managing Director Sameer Khetarpal, the company is adopting a dual strategy by focusing on smaller towns for Domino’s expansion while targeting metropolitan and mid-sized cities for Popeyes. As per agency report, Jubilant Foods is placing strategic emphasis on Popeyes, expecting it to grow faster than its other brands.
Currently, Jubilant Foods Limited (JFL) operates around 2,100 Domino’s stores in India, making it the second-largest Domino’s network globally after the United States. The company plans to add approximately 50 Popeyes outlets each year, with a target of reaching 200 to 250 stores within three years. At present, there are around 60 Popeyes locations in operation.
Khetarpal emphasized that the focus for Popeyes will be on cities like Coimbatore, Salem, Mysuru, and Bengaluru, where Domino’s already has an established delivery infrastructure. Leveraging this existing network will facilitate the efficient rollout of Popeyes outlets in key urban and semi-urban markets.
In addition to Domino’s and Popeyes, Jubilant Foods also holds franchise rights for Dunkin’ and Hong’s Kitchen, operating about 30 stores combined under these two brands. The company’s aggressive expansion strategy signals its intent to further solidify its presence across India’s growing QSR landscape.
