In partnership with Mumbai-based JSM, fast-food chain Panda Express, known for serving American-Chinese cuisine, is planning to enter in India.
Earlier, JSM has introduced many international chains like Hard Rock Cafe and California Pizza Kitchen to the Indian market.
It is expected that in the coming six months JSM will open first few outlets of Panda Express. Over the next five years, it has plans to open 50 outlets for the brand but the first few will be opened in the major metros.
Started in 1983 in California, the family-owned Panda Express has built one of the largest Chinese restaurant businesses in the US with sales of over $2 billion as of 2014.
