It seems that the Indian foodies are developing a taste for doughnuts. Recently we had seen the debut of Dunkin Donuts in Delhi in May 2012. Earlier Dunkin Donuts had announced a franchisee agreement with Jubilant Foodworks to “to develop, sub-franchise, and operate more than 500 Dunkin’ Donuts restaurants throughout India over the next 15 years”.
More good news for all who are in love with doughnuts, and those who are thrilled by the idea of working in hospitality & food services. 
We would soon be seeing the entry of Krispy Kreme, a leading brand specializing in doughnuts. The brand and its specialty glazed doughnut’s are already available in over 690 stores across 21 countries.
Krispy Kreme has entered into an agreement with Citymax Hotels Pvt Ltd. (Landmark Group) for the development of 80 franchise Krispy Kreme retail shops in the next 5 years across the South and West regions of India. Citymax Hotels Pvt. Ltd. is part of the Dubai-based Landmark Group, one of the largest and most respected retailers in India and the Middle East.
Earlier in May 2012, Krispy Kreme had announced its agreement new franchisee Bedrock Food Company Pvt., Ltd. Under the new agreement, Bedrock Food Company is expected to open 35 stores over the next five years. The stores will be located in six states in the North region of India, which includes the cities of Delhi, Jaipur and Lucknow.
