Chinese Wok, Lenexis Foodworks' QSR brand, opened its first Belagavi outlet, marking entry into its 50th Indian city. The launch expands its Karnataka network to 38 stores and South India footprint to 89, reinforcing cluster-led expansion in the Desi Chinese category.

Why this matters

The Belagavi launch deepens Chinese Wok's Karnataka cluster and signals continued tier-2 push by Lenexis Foodworks, consistent with its city-by-city South India densification strategy.

Store-opening activity remains steady with 283 signals tracked over the past 90 days.
