On Thursday, 30th June 2022, India’s Reliance Industries announced a franchise partnership with Pret A Manger to launch and build the British sandwich and coffee chain in India.
The company said in a statement that Reliance Brands Ltd (RBL) will open the food chain across the country with major cities. Before March 2023, Reliance will open the first Pret store in India’s financial capital, Mumbai.
Already, through RBL, Reliance has a number of partnerships with global luxury brands such as Burberry and Jimmy Choo via franchises and joint ventures. Now with this latest partnership with Pret, which is owned by investment group JAB and founder Sinclair Beecham, the RBL is marking its presence into the booming F&B industry.
