Chaiiwala over ‘100 partners’ waiting for US debut next month
Chaiiwala has “more than 100 partners” already lined up for its big US debut next month, the Indian street food franchise revealed at a recent conference.
The brand’s international business director Simon Hooper reportedly said that Chaiiwala also has “180 stores already committed” to its Canadian opening programme.
Speaking at the Propel Multi-Club Conference, he said: “We’ve got more than 100 partners waiting, and they’re on investment levels of anything from £1m to £155m. So, America is looking very attractive.”
With 85 sites in the UK since its Leicester opening in 2016, Chaiiwala not only has eight sites in Canada since its launch there in 2021, but has “partners signed up in Germany, France, Switzerland, Austria and Belgium”.Â
Having opened its first store in the Middle East at the end of last year, Hooper further revealed that the business has “three teams from South Africa… already committed to more than 50 sites”.
