Their feedback to us as to the attractiveness of our products to the Indian market is overwhelmingly positive which has encouraged us to look to expand into India.

It has become a part of celebration in almost every formal and informal occasion amongst the locals. We are also focusing on creating a robust network of cake retail outlets across India. Our cakes will be not be visual treat for the sweet toothers but also flavoursome. Our assortment of cakes like Theme cakes, wedding cakes, kids’ cake, and baked cheese cakes, Continental cheese cakes, Mud cakes, Rainbow cakes, Dessert Cups, Mini cakes, tartlets, gateaux, everyday delights and many more will tantalize the palate of local connoisseurs. With great market prospect we aim to open just 5 stores by the end of 2019 across PAN India.”

For a brand like cheesecake shop, it comes in with a very definite segmentation and proposition both for its prospective franchisees and for the customers too.
