Wendy’s Expands in India with 200th Restaurant in Gurugram

Rebel Foods, the master franchise holder for Wendy's in India, has opened the brand’s 200th restaurant at Elan Miracle Mall, Sector 82, Gurugram. Covering 1,142 sq. ft. with seating for over 30 customers, the new location expands Wendy’s presence across more than 50 cities in India, including 15 dine-in restaurants. The opening strengthens Wendy’s retail footprint in India, particularly in the Delhi NCR region, and introduces the brand’s Global Next Gen restaurant design.

Ankush Grover, Co-Founder and CEO - India and MENA, Rebel Foods said, "Reaching 200 Wendy’s restaurants in just 40 months, India has emerged as one of the brand’s fastest-growing markets, reflecting the deep consumer love of fans across the country. Our partnership with Wendy's continues to thrive, and with localized innovative new menu additions like the Korean and Chimichurri Ranges, we’re changing the way India enjoys hamburgers.”

Chris Conway, SVP, MD, APMEA for The Wendy’s Company added, "We are building a high-performing, differentiated QSR brand in India. Growing to 200 restaurants demonstrates that Wendy’s is winning in the market by delivering what customers want: Fresh, Famous food and exceptional customer experiences. We deeply appreciate our strong partnership with Rebel Foods, whose growth vision has been key to our rapid expansion. As Wendy’s continues to expand, we look forward to bringing our high-quality food and hospitality to even more communities across India."

To mark the milestone, Rebel Foods is launching a month-long celebration from March 15. The initiative includes a superbike squad dressed as the Wendy’s mascot delivering orders across key cities, themed events at dine-in locations in Delhi, Bangalore, and Hyderabad, and special Rs 200 menu offerings. Limited-time packaging with milestone branding will also be introduced for delivery customers.

Wendy’s has also expanded its menu with the Korean Range, featuring savoury flavors in hamburgers and wraps, and India’s first Chimichurri Range, offering a herb-based twist to the classic hamburger. Since entering the Indian market in 2020, Wendy’s has introduced localized menu items and, with Rebel Foods’ digital-first approach, continues to expand through a combination of cloud kitchens, dine-in restaurants, and delivery services.
