Going ahead with its expansion plan, Nirula's has recently opened outlets in Mumbai, Indore and Mussoorie.
"We would soon open more outlets in Mumbai, Bangalore, Jalandhar and Pathankot," said Samir Kuckreja, CEO and MD of Nirula's.
The QSR chain currently operates 75 outlets in 16 cities and the company plans to take the count to 200 outlets by March 2011. "The 125 new outlets will include 80 metro express format at Delhi Metro (stations) and 20 company-owned ice-cream kiosks. These formats will significantly improve our footprint and enable us to penetrate the Delhi, NCR market through increased customer touch-points," he added.
The company plans to have both metro express format, covering an area of 50-60 sq ft, as well as ice-cream kiosks/parlours, spreading between 75-200 sq ft area on an average.
Franchising is the next big ticket item for Nirula’s. "Currently, we have a number of franchisees to whom we provide training, product and marketing support in setting up and successfully running their restaurants. We’ve recently opened outlets in Indore, Mussoorie and at the Mumbai domestic airport. We are in discussions with potential franchise partners to open more outlets in Mumbai, Bangalore and Jalandhar and also looking at other opportunities including transit locations such as railway stations and inter-city bus stands, corporate parks/buildings and educational institutions," said Kuckreja.
For the entire expansion plan, the company would need Rs 15 crore, which would be raised through internal accruals, equity infusion and debt. The company has significantly increased the investment budget for its marketing plan, this year. "Each new unit has a marketing budget for which a plan is made on the basis of local unit requirements," Kuckreja added.

Zoomin Photo Studio Franchise Opportunity
Zoomin.com, India’s #1 Photo Sharing, Printing and Custom Gifting service, today unveiled its retail strategy with the simultaneous opening of 6 ZoomIn Studios throughout the country. These stores are located as “shop-in-shop” within the Crossword Bookstores in Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Pune, Bangalore and Kolkata.
A Photo Studio for Today’s Generation
The chic new ZoomIn Studio format is a significant step in empowering the “memory keepers” of the family and giving them the tools to express, create and preserve their ‘moments of magic’ through photos. Unlike any traditional photo retail store experience available today, the design and execution of each Studio has focused on creating a collaborative experience zone for customers to touch and feel stunningly beautiful and evocative photo gifts, get inspired and work with expert designers on the spot to tell their own story through photos. With a wide selection of products and services on display, such as traditional photo prints, giant enlargements, prints on canvas, “coffee-table book” style hardcover photo books and a vast line of personalized stationery, note cards and invites. The stores are equipped with state of the art touchscreen displays to create a fun and exciting way for everyone to create magic with their photos. All a customer needs to do is walk in with their photographs in print or digital format, then let their imagination and the ZoomIn team take over.
A One Stop Photo Studio: While the ZoomIn Studio has introduced an exciting array of innovations in celebrating life through photos such as the Photo book, canvas print, custom 100% cotton tee; the traditional and essential needs of a photo taking professional, enthusiast or family member have not been ignored. Professional quality photo prints from wallet to giant wall sized enlargements are available in multiple finishes such as matte, glossy, lustre and metallic. These professional prints are available for next day pickup at the studio, delivery to the home or worldwide through ZoomIn’s network of delivery partners. Also launching with the Studios is the ZoomIn Passport Photo Pack. A single click by a trained professional at the ZoomIn Studio is probably the last time you will need to get a passport photo taken. Instant reorders of your passport prints will be available online and at any ZoomIn Studio location nationwide through an SMS.
Sunny Balijepalli, Co-Founder and CEO, Zoomin.com said, “Our goal both online and now through the launch of retail stores has been consistent – we want to allow everyone in the family experience first-hand the magic possible through the exciting new developments in digital photography and on-demand personalization and printing. We’re especially thrilled to have partnered with Crossword Bookstores to launch our first wave of stores around the country. As a service that aims to preserve a family’s favourite moments, ZoomIn’s offerings fit particularly well with the store demographics. We see this partnership as a great opportunity to strengthen our distribution network and to take ZoomIn’s photo and personalization services closer to its target audience. We are excited about our growth plans to reach out to a wider audience across the country and aim to expand the number of ZoomIn Studios to 25 by end of this year, in a variety of formats and locations.”
According to industry reports, the Indian digital printing industry is growing at a whopping CAGR of 85%. Camera enabled handset sales are also expected to boost digital photography over the next few years. “We’re seeing very encouraging growth in the area of personalization as there is a plethora of readily available digital content and consumers are looking at innovative ways to celebrate them. ZoomIn Studio is a service built for India, serving a Diaspora that is connected through memories and their celebration through photos”, added Sunny.
ZoomIn had successfully launched its first exclusive franchise store in Mumbai in September 2009.
The Exciting Launch Offer: The ZoomIn Studio is excited to celebrate its launch with a free gift to all its customers. For a limited time, every walk-in customer to the ZoomIn Studio in Mulund Crosssword Bookstore will be eligible to receive a set of 25 free Photo Prints or a free Photo Book with their first purchase at the store.

Taco Fresco Asia Master Franchise Opens First Mexican Restaurant In Mumbai, India
An American chain of Mexican restaurants will open its first branch outside the USA in Khar on Monday. Taco Fresco, which has 16 outlets in the USA, and specialises in authentic Mexican cuisine, opens up on 14th Road, Khar,Mumbai, where Bamboo Shoot used to be.
The casual dining restaurant is run by Sayeeda Kurlawala, who holds the franchise for all Taco Frescos in Asia. She plans to open more restaurants and Taco Fresco quick eateries in Mumbai, and across Asia. She has just returned from the USA, where she lived for 20 years, to start the venture.
“There is very little Mexican food on offer in Mumbai. People don’t use the right ingredients and don’t know how to make it. A lot of it is too sweet and they used tamarind, which is not Mexican at all.”
Indian touch
The restaurant, which seats 42 spread across an indoor and outdoor area, serves Burritos, Tacos, Nachos, Tortillas, Quesadillas and Fajitas with either chicken, fish, shrimps, or vegetables, and options of sour cream, refried beans, pico de gallo (tomato, onion and chilli), melted cheese, and guacamole.
A few dishes have Indian flavours such as Paneer Tacos and Chicken Tikka Burritos. They also serve authentic Maragaritas, Sangria and Mexican beers.Most items are made with locally sourced ingredients. This includes the tortilla chips, tortillas, sour cream and salsa “The only problem we are facing is in finding good avocadoes in Mumbai, “ says CEO and founder of Taco Fresco, Anthony Gambino, who is training the local chefs.
“Indian food is quite similar to Mexican food. Both have breads, sauces and meat and use tomatoes, onions, and chillies. But Indian food is spicier.”
