We are expanding across rapidly growing cities in South and West India, such as Hyderabad, Chennai, Pune, and Goa. We are also open to locations in smaller towns and cities in these regions.

Your upfront investment includes a one-time Initial Franchise Fee and the complete Store Setup Cost (interiors, machinery, POS systems, and licenses). You must also have adequate working capital for day-to-day operations.

Yes. Franchisees pay a recurring royalty fee based on a percentage of net sales. This contributes to continuous brand development, system enhancements, and national marketing.

The entire process - from submitting your initial application to the store's opening - typically takes between 4 to 6 months.
