Westlife to unveil 25-30 new McDonald’s outlets in 2021-22

Westlife Development Ltd, which owns Hardcastle Restaurants and master franchisee of McDonald’s restaurants for 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. The company plans to open three new stores in this quarter and then resume its growth journey of adding 25-40 stores every year from the next fiscal. A statement from the company says if the momentum of consumer confidence continues, they will achieve and hopefully exceed pre-COVID-19 levels in the next 2-3 months. Such move of Westlife on McDonald’s outlet expansion will bring new business opportunity for the signage companies engaging in in-store graphics, branding and such tasks.
