Village Food Courts to Launch Capriotti’s Sandwich Shop and Wing Zone in India

NEW DELHI, DELHI, INDIA, November 7, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Village Food Courts (VFC), a Village Groupe company, signs a multi-unit license agreement for the Republic of India with Capriotti’s Sandwich Shop (Capriotti’s) and Wing Zone. The deal includes the exclusive rights to launch both brands within VFC’s food court venues and select delivery kitchens. VFC plans to open around 50 locations over the next 5 years and for the first time, both Capriotti’s and Wing Zone will be featured together on VFC’s platform offering an unmatched range of menu items.

Capriotti’s is a Las Vegas-based, award-winning fast-casual restaurant franchise offering premium sandwiches made with the highest quality ingredients. In 2021, Capriotti’s acquired Wing Zone, a fast-casual brand known for its fast, flavor-packed chicken wings. Wing Zone saw extensive success during the pandemic through its delivery service.

“In the post-pandemic world, consumers are really concerned with food quality and premium food and beverage brands are doing better than ever. With Capriotti's and Wing Zone exclusively in our portfolio, we remain committed to introducing the best of world cuisine for our Indian patrons”, says Suraj Arora, Managing Partner, VFC.

David Bloom, Chief Development and Operating Officer, Capriotti’s & Wing Zone says, “We are very excited to be working with such a great team to expand both the Capriotti's and Wing Zone brands together throughout the Republic of India. We have been working closely with our new development partners for many months to ensure we are prepared to develop successfully and aggressively throughout the region.”

Already the fifth-largest economy of the world, India’s population will become the largest in the world next year and the country remains unwavering in its demand for world-class consumer experiences and products. Currently the food and beverages industry accounts for ~3% of India’s GDP and remains the single largest employer in the country even though it was one of the industries most severely affected by the pandemic. In this period of recovery, transnational food and beverage companies have numerous opportunities, not only for revival, but also for unprecedented growth. Going global armed with curated localization strategies as well as adjusting sourcing and pricing strategies to reflect the post-pandemic reality is the need of the hour.
