SOCIAL Hits 60 Outlets With New Mohali Launch, Expands Tricity Footprint

SOCIAL has expanded its presence in the Tricity with the opening of Mohali SOCIAL at HLP Gallerria, taking its India network to 60 outlets. The launch marks the brand’s third outlet in Punjab and its first in Mohali, following two existing locations in Chandigarh.

The new outlet is spread across multiple levels and is designed to accommodate different dayparts, including coffee visits, meals, after-work gatherings and late-night dining. The outlet combines food, beverages, music and community-focused programming as part of SOCIAL’s neighbourhood-led expansion strategy.

Riyaaz Amlani, Managing Director, Impresario Entertainment & Hospitality Pvt. Ltd., said, “Punjab has always had a strong culture of community, generosity and celebration, and Mohali brings that spirit alive in its own way. We have been part of the Tricity through our two SOCIAL outposts in Chandigarh, so opening in Mohali feels like a natural next step for us. Every SOCIAL is shaped by the neighbourhood it enters, and here we wanted to create a space that feels relevant to how Mohali meets, eats and goes out. Whether it begins with coffee, a meal with family or a catch-up with friends, we hope Mohali SOCIAL becomes one of those places that naturally finds its way into people’s plans.”

Designed by FK’D Workshop, Mumbai, the outlet uses a cascading, amphitheatre-inspired layout connecting its different levels. The space includes an island bar positioned between indoor and outdoor areas, along with a private dining room and an open-air timber-deck balcony.

The interiors feature large glass façades, Shabad stone flooring, tropical greenery and natural materials. The multi-level format is intended to keep the different areas connected while allowing the outlet to serve both smaller gatherings and larger social occasions.

HLP Gallerria Spokesperson added, “When we started building HLP Gallerria, we had one simple dream - to create a lively place where people love to come together. Bringing Mohali's first-ever SOCIAL to HLP Gallerria is a proud moment for us. What makes us really happy is that this place is for everyone; families enjoying a relaxed weekend lunch, young professionals working over a cup of coffee, or friends catching up after a long day.

SOCIAL brings a new energy to Mohali and gives people a favourite place to meet and connect. We're excited to partner with Impresario Entertainment & Hospitality Pvt Ltd to bring this popular brand to HLP Gallerria and add more life and fun to our city and venue.”

The food and beverage menu includes SOCIAL staples such as China Boxes, Butter Chicken Biryani and Fully Re-loaded Nachos, alongside coffee and signature cocktails. The menu also features the Banarasi Patiala, which provides a Punjab-linked element to the beverage offering.

The outlet will also host music, creative collaborations, cultural programming and emerging talent initiatives as part of SOCIAL’s wider community-focused format. With the Mohali launch, SOCIAL has added another location to its Tricity presence while taking its national outlet count to 60 and Punjab count to three.
