Curefoods has acquired pan-India rights for Krispy Kreme, extending its operations to 11 stores in Delhi-NCR. The acquisition includes seven retail outlets and four cloud kitchens in locations such as Worldmark Aerocity, Select City Walk Mall Saket, Ambience Mall Gurgaon, Promenade Mall Vasant Kunj, and Mall of India Noida. With this move, Curefoods now operates over 100 Krispy Kreme outlets across India, encompassing dine-in stores and cloud kitchens. The expansion aligns with the company’s strategy to scale Krispy Kreme’s footprint beyond South India and into northern regions. Ankit Nagori, Founder of Curefoods, stated that the acquisition enables the company to develop a unified strategy for brand growth, customer experience, and innovation across India. Future expansion plans include western markets such as Mumbai. Curefoods manages a portfolio of F&B brands, including Kitchens of EatFit, CakeZone, Nomad Pizza, Sharief Bhai, Olio Pizza, Frozen Bottle, and Krispy Kreme. In October 2023, Curefoods had acquired foodtech startup Yumlane. It also acquired a majority stake in milkshake brand Frozen Bottle in 2022 and announced its merger with Mumbai-based Maverix and the acquisition of south India franchise rights of US-based pizza chain Sbarro. As per media reports, Curefoods is planning to raise $300–400 million through an IPO, which is expected to hit the markets in the latter part of FY26. The company recently converted itself into a public entity.
