Jubilant FoodWorks plans to scale its Popeyes fried-chicken chain to 100 stores in India by end of FY26 or Q1 FY27, expanding alongside its flagship Domino's Pizza business, per CEO Sameer Khetarpal.

Why this matters

The 100-store target follows Popeyes India's three-restaurant Pune debut, signaling aggressive expansion under Jubilant FoodWorks even as Popeyes globally posted its worst quarter in 20 years with same-store sales down 6.5%.

Store-opening activity is steady with 366 signals in the last 90 days.
