AHMEDABAD – Dunkin’ Donuts (DD) made its entry into the largest city of the Indian state of Gujarat last week by launching its first restaurant in Ahmedabad.
Mr. Ajay Kaul, CEO Jubilant FoodWorks Limited, while speaking at the launch said, “After making an amazing connection with young adult consumers in key cities of the country like Mumbai, Delhi and Bangalore, we are extremely excited to enter the seventh largest metropolitan area in India and the largest city in the state of Gujarat, Ahmedabad.
Gujarat being an important economic and industrial hub in the country has consumers who are welltravelled, evolved and open to experimenting with different cuisines. This gives me confidence that this new idea of food that we bring to India will be well appreciated in this city.
Today, as we open our 44th restaurant in India, we have plans to expand, through the year, across North, West and South India. With the evolution of the new age consumer, who find the concept of a QSR very infantile; we feel very confident that Dunkin’ Donuts will connect with them very strongly with its unique positioning in the Indian Food Service Industry.”
Speaking on the launch of the first restaurant in Ahmedabad, Mr. Dev Amritesh, President and COO, Dunkin’ Donuts India, said, “After the immense appreciation and the great response we have received from Dunkin’ lovers in a lot of key markets in the country, we have now decided to expand further into more exciting markets of West India. The opening of our newest restaurant in Ahmedabad strengthens our footprint in the western part of the sub-continent. We are confident that with the differentiated, all day part food and beverage menu that we offer, consumers in Ahmedabad will love Dunkin’ Donuts.”
He further added,” At Dunkin’, we invite consumers to ‘Come to Dunkin’ and ‘Get your Mojo Back’. Our signature products such as the Tough Guy Burger, Wicked Wrap, Stirr’accino Coffee, Alive by Chocolate Donut, Spiked Iced Tea and the newly launched Naughty Lucy Burger-do just that, put the MOJO back into our consumers. Right from the evolved conversational restaurant design, to our signature products to the chilled out experience, everything is crafted around the evolved urban young adult consumers.”
