Indian street food franchise Chaiiwala has opened in Milton Keynes for its 105th UK site.
The company, which has circa 125 sites in total globally, has opened at Unit 4F in the centre:MK. Chaiiwala also has more than 20 locations in Canada and a handful in Dubai.
Sohail Ali, co-founder of Chaiiwala, said: “We’re excited to open our latest store in Milton Keynes. As a leading retail destination with strong footfall, our opening in the centre:MK will provide an opportunity for us to showcase the value of Chaiiwala’s unique and flavourful all-day street food menu as well as the unique flavour of chai to more consumers.
This will help us introduce more consumers to the brand and support our strategic objective of transforming Chaiiwala into a household name.”
Last month, Chaiiwala teased the launch of a new kiosk concept, made out of shipping containers, which Ali said are “great for busy areas with limited space”.
Chaiiwala, which ambitions to grow to 500 global locations over the next ten years, made history in 2023 by launching the UK’s first Indian street food drive-thru. Last year, the brand followed this by launching its first airport and university campus locations.
