Krispy Kreme® India, a brand under the Curefoods portfolio, today announced the launch of its newest store at CP67 Mall, Chandigarh, to celebrate World Doughnut Day. This marks a landmark moment in its growth journey. The brand welcomed doughnut lovers with free doughnuts for all walk-in customers throughout the launch day, creating a festive, high-energy start to its North India expansion.
The opening represents a significant milestone in Krispy Kreme’s India growth story and its continued efforts to bring its doughnuts to more consumers across the country. With the Chandigarh launch, Krispy Kreme now operates 84 offline stores across India and more than 160 consumer touchpoints nationwide, including cloud kitchens. The brand is currently present across Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai, Delhi NCR, Jaipur, and now Chandigarh, making this its first major North India expansion beyond Delhi NCR.
The new store at CP67 Mall offers Chandigarh consumers access to Krispy Kreme’s range of signature doughnuts, beverages, and chocolate-forward creations, particularly catering to Gen Z’s tastes. Designed as a vibrant and welcoming destination, the store reflects the brand’s focus on creating enjoyable, shareable experiences that resonate with today’s young consumers.
“Launching in Chandigarh on World Doughnut Day makes this opening particularly special for us,” said Gokul Kandhi, Chief Business Officer, Curefoods. “This launch represents the next chapter of Krispy Kreme’s growth in India. As we expand our footprint, we’re focused on building a brand that feels relevant to Indian consumers, especially Gen Z, who are shaping food culture today. India has a deep love for chocolate, and we’re leaning into that insight by creating indulgent doughnut experiences that are fun, expressive, and made for sharing. We’re excited to bring that experience to Chandigarh.”
As part of its India strategy, Krispy Kreme is strengthening its position as the Chocolate Doughnut Brand that brings together rich flavours, playful personalities, and shareable formats designed for a generation that values both taste and experience. The brand’s chocolate-first approach is inspired by a simple consumer insight: India loves chocolate.
The Chandigarh launch is part of Krispy Kreme’s broader strategy of expanding through a mix of flagship stores, retail formats, and cloud kitchens, ensuring the brand is available wherever consumers choose to discover and enjoy it. In addition to the new CP67 Mall location, Krispy Kreme is also available in the Chandigarh region through its outlets at Dhillon Plaza and Karnal Haveli.
