Geneva-based Global Franchise Architects (GFA) that builds, operates and franchises brands including Coffee World, Pizza Corner, The Donut Baker and The Cream & Fudge Factory is looking at expansions in India and abroad. Joseph Cherian, MD, GFA said “At present we have 76 outlets across all brands and we would like to touch the 100 mark by July-August this year. Our main markets are India and Thailand.”
The company is also looking at increasing the number of outlets of its ice cream brand, The Cream & Fudge Factory. GFA has combination store formats abroad which usually have two of its brands under the same roof and plans are on to get that format to India too. “We are looking to have combination stores with Pizza Corner and Cream and Fudge in India by the end of this month. We are also looking at master franchisee this year and are in conversation with a few players for our Cream & Fudge outlets. The newer brands will expand on master franchising and area franchising primarily,” said Cherian.
