The new restaurant, located opposite Jyoti Nivas College in Koramangala, introduces the globally recognized American chicken QSR brand to the Indian market and represents the first step in an ambitious nationwide expansion plan.

Exclusive Master Franchise Rights for India

Spice Lounge Food Works has secured the exclusive Master Franchise rights for Wing Zone, a U.S.-based restaurant chain with more than 30 years of heritage and an international presence across multiple markets. The company will oversee the brand’s development, restaurant operations, brand management and expansion throughout India.

Wing Zone is known globally for its:

• Signature chicken wings
• Flavor-forward sauces
• Burgers and wraps
• Premium fast-casual dining experience

The partnership strengthens Spice Lounge’s objective of becoming one of India’s leading multi-brand food service companies.

Why Bengaluru Was Chosen

The company selected Koramangala as Wing Zone India’s launch destination because of its strong food culture and customer demographics. 

According to the presentation, the locality offers:

• A vibrant food and beverage ecosystem.
• A high concentration of young professionals and students.
• Strong demand for quick service restaurants.
• Excellent delivery and accessibility.

These factors make Bengaluru an ideal market to introduce an international chicken QSR brand.

Building a Strong Multi-Brand Portfolio

• Buffalo Wild Wings
• Wing Zone
• Blaze Kebabs
• TekSoft Systems Inc.

Chairperson and Director Mohan Babu Karjela said the partnership marks an important milestone in the company’s long-term strategy and reinforces its commitment to building a diversified, multi-brand food services platform in India.

India’s Chicken QSR Market Offers Strong Growth Potential

The company believes the timing is favorable due to several structural trends driving India’s food service industry, including:

• Rising disposable incomes.
• Rapid urbanization.
• Growing demand for international food brands.
• Expansion of food delivery platforms.

These trends are expected to support the long-term expansion of premium chicken-focused restaurant brands across the country.
