Doner Shack Partners with FranGlobal to Expand in India; Targets 150 Stores in 5 Years

Berlin-inspired QSR franchise Doner Shack has entered into a strategic partnership with FranGlobal to launch 150 stores across India.

The brand has announced its entry into the Indian market through a master franchise agreement with FranGlobal, India’s leading franchise solutions firm. 

This landmark deal, involving a 150-store licence agreement, marks Doner Shack’s largest market expansion to date, solidifying its position as a fast-growing global QSR brand.

“We are thrilled to bring Doner Shack to India, with plans to open 150 stores in the next five years. This collaboration aligns perfectly with the growing demand for quick and affordable dining options across the country,” shared Gaurav Marya, Chairman, FranGlobal.

The partnership with FranGlobal comes as part of Doner Shack’s accelerated international growth strategy. Following plans to expand into the US, the brand is now setting its sights on India, one of the world’s most dynamic consumer markets. 

With the Indian QSR market projected to grow from $25.46 billion in 2024 to $38.71 billion by 2029, the timing is perfect for Doner Shack’s entry.

“Gaurav’s extensive experience in the Indian franchise industry is incredibly valuable for us. This deal is a significant milestone for Doner Shack, and we’re excited to see the first of many restaurants opening soon in the region,” added Sanj Sanghera, Co-founder of Doner Shack.

Targeting a core customer demographic aged 18 to 34, Doner Shack is well-positioned to cater to India’s youthful and vibrant population, where 65% of citizens are under 35. The increasing trend of dining out, rising disposable incomes, and the preference for convenient, affordable food options make India an ideal market for Doner Shack’s unique offerings.
