California Pizza Kitchen announces franchise opening in India

California Pizza Kitchen is currently seeking experiences, qualified multi-unit franchisees globally and in markets throughout the United States

California Pizza Kitchen, the creator of California-style pizza, has announced the opening of a brand new franchise location in India. The opening marks another milestone in the brand’s continued growth around the globe and nearly 50 international CPK restaurants. The opening also marks California Pizza Kitchen’s re-entry into India and expansion of their global franchise footprint.

The deal will see the newest CPK location owned and operated by Sanjay Mahtani, co-founder and operator of JSM Corporation Pvt. Ltd., a leading India-based international restaurant group with over fifteen years of success. The new California Pizza Kitchen location can be found at Navi Mumbai.

The India franchise opening bolsters CPK’s continued commitment to sustainable expansion and scalable success around the globe. Apart from India, other new international deals include locations set to open in Chile, Costa Rica, Alberta, Canada, and more. California Pizza Kitchen also launched a domestic franchise program in the United States in December of 2021 that is helping to further broaden CPK’s franchise program and reach new markets domestically.
