Coffee Day to introduce 'Hungry Food' meal outlets

Coffee Day Holdings, the Bangalore-based Rs 800 crore coffee exporters and retailer, is expanding its presence through a full service meal outlet chain under the brand Hungry Food. Coffee Day Holdings has been constantly diversifying its range of offerings starting from coffee to cookies to pastries and with this step to start a new brand for a complete meal is in a way being considered as an attempt to compete with McDonalds in India. Even as the company is planning this diversification, it is also planning to expand the number of its cafes to around 1,000 from the present mark of 800. The chain also has presence in the United States, Vienna and in Pakistan, and is planning more expansion at international locations.
