Five Star Chicken rebrands as 'Five Star'

Bengaluru based Five Star Chicken has rebranded itself from ‘Five Star Chicken to 'Five Star'.

The agenda

With a growing network of stores and rapid consumer acceptance, Five Star is all set to introduce a wide and interesting range of vegetarian products to the market.
