Sbarro CEO David Karam said: “Sbarro is not new to convenience – we’ve been serving handmade XL New York slices to customers on-the-go since 1956.
“Our experience, economical business model, and position as the global quick-service restaurant (QSR) leader in the impulse pizza category, make convenience stores and travel centres natural fits for us. We’re excited to partner with such strong organisations in this space.”
Last month, Curefoods acquired franchise rights for Sbarro in South India.
Curefoods noted that it plans to open 50 outlets under the Sbarro brand over the next three years. Initially, it will open outlets in the Indian state of Karnataka, which will include walk-in outlets and Cloud kitchens.
