"We will be the largest market for Domino's outside the US and target to achieve it in the next six months. The US has close to 5,000 stores, so with the US, you can't compare. At present, we have around 750 stores. As and when we reach the number of 800-plus stores, is when we would be the largest market outside of the US," Jubilant FoodWorks Chief Executive Officer Ajay Kaul told reporters here.
The food services firm, which also runs Dunkin' Donuts, today announced the launch of two stores of the world's leading baked goods and coffee chain in the city.
"Last year we had given Dunkin' a guidance of 20 stores and 145 for Domino's. We believe this year we should be doing at least those, but in the case of Dunkin' Donuts, since it is in a growth phase and we are entering new markets, we believe at least 25 stores we should open this fiscal, including our entry into Bangalore, Pune and may be some key cities in the south," he said.
"We are riding on the infrastructure or the backbone created by Domino's Pizza or call it Jubilant FoodWorks. So the existing factories will all get used even for Dunkin' Donuts," he added.
