US restaurant chain Quiznos plans to expand into India with five Quiznos outlets in southern Indian cities by the end of the year, the first of which is set open in May 2011.
The privately held Denver-based company said Friday it has awarded master franchising rights for southern India, including Bangalore, Kochi, Chennai and Hyderabad, to Arjun Valluri. An experienced and successful franchisee who has brought a variety of restaurant concepts to southern India, Valluri plans to open at least 40 Quiznos locations in India at an accelerated pace, said the chain, which has thousands of restaurants in the US.
With 15 Xtreme Sports Bar locations and 3 Caffe Latte concepts, Valluri brings business savvy and understanding of the local market to the partnership with Quiznos, it said.
