Jubilant Foods is gearing up for major expansion, with plans to take Domino’s Pizza to 3,000 outlets and Popeyes to around 250 locations within the next three years, CEO and MD Sameer Khetarpal revealed on Thursday.
For Domino’s, the company is setting its sights on smaller Tier III towns and tapping into new markets, while Popeyes will focus on metro and Tier II cities. “We are growing both brands, but our priority is Popeyes. We see it scaling up faster than the others,” Khetarpal told PTI.

Currently, Jubilant Foods (JFL) operates about 2,100 Domino’s stores, making it the second-largest market for the American pizza chain outside the U.S. Meanwhile, Popeyes, which has around 60 stores in India, is set to expand aggressively, with JFL adding up to 50 new outlets per year, aiming to reach 200–250 locations in the next three years.
“For Popeyes, we’re targeting Tier I and Tier II cities—we’re already present in places like Coimbatore, Salem, Mysore, and Bangalore. Our strong distribution network, built through Domino’s, gives us a solid foundation,” Khetarpal added.

Beyond Domino’s and Popeyes, JFL also operates around 30 outlets each of Dunkin’ and Hong’s Kitchen. It holds franchise rights for Domino’s in multiple international markets, including Turkey, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Azerbaijan, and Georgia, bringing its global store count to over 3,000.
As consumer habits evolve, Domino’s continues to thrive on delivery, with 70% of orders coming through its app, website, or food aggregators, while the rest come from dine-in customers.
