The F&B brand, India’s third-largest burger chain (after McDonald’s and Burger King), has entered Bengaluru with the launch of its first store in the city, located at HSR Layout.
“The year 2024 will see Jumboking doubling its store count in the south of India,” said Dheeraj Gupta, Founder of Jumboking. “We believe that there is a true globality of habits developing across the length and breadth of the country; a sameness within the vast cultural differences that define us.”
In Bengaluru alone, Jumboking plans to open six outlets by the end of this fiscal year (FY25) and around 30 outlets in the next few years. The Mumbai-based asset-light company was founded in 2001 with its first retail store in Malad. Today, the burger chain operates over 175 stores across Mumbai, Delhi and Hyderabad.
The company entered the Delhi market in November 2021, followed by the launch in Hyderabad in 2023. In Delhi alone, it has 43 stores, and the store count in the capital is set to increase by 58 per cent this calendar year, according to the release.
Since repositioning to burgers in 2017, Jumboking has experienced sevenfold growth. It has established delivery partnerships with Swiggy and Zomato to handle out-of-store orders and operates JK University to train staff, supporting its expansion program.
