Mumbai: Baskin-Robbins, the globally recognized ice cream brand and the largest QSR ice cream chain in India and the world, has reached a significant milestone with the grand opening of its 1000th store in the bustling suburb of Andheri, Mumbai.
The new Andheri outlet, spanning over 750 square feet, stands as the largest Baskin-Robbins store in Mumbai and one of the largest across India.
The celebratory opening event brought together key stakeholders, industry leaders, and loyal customers, all of whom gathered to recognize Baskin-Robbins' remarkable success in expanding its footprint in India.
