Westlife Development, which owns Hardcastle Restaurants, the master franchisee of McDonald’s restaurants in western and southern India, expects its business to return to pre-COVID-19 level from the next quarter and continue its expansion journey by adding more stores to its network, said a source from the company. The company plans to add 25-40 stores every year from the next fiscal. Through the in-store business, the company will continue to grow, the convenience channels will be there. Unveiling of new McDonald’s restaurants in western and southern India will be a new business opportunity for the signage companies which engage in in-store projects.
