Australian gourmet grocer to expand in India, Qatar

Jones the Grocer, the Australian gourmet grocer and café, has announced further global expansion into India and Qatar in partnership with HMSHost International, the global market leader in airport and travel dining and hospitality.

The first Jones the Grocer Express opened at Bangalore’s Kempegowda International Airport in Terminal 1, airside domestic departures, on July 7.

“The Indian diaspora, with their close affinity to the UAE, are very familiar with Jones the Grocer across its locations in UAE, and of course our Jones Express stores at Dubai Airport operated by HMS Host International. I am really pleased to be furthering our successful cooperation with HMS Host and making our first foray into India at Bangalore International Airport,” said Yunib Siddiqui, CEO of Jones the Grocer

“Since my first experience dining at Jones the Grocer, I have wanted to bring the brand to India. Their concept of all-day dining, playing on the trend of natural, gourmet food, makes for a great fit here in India and a brilliant match with the Kempegowda International Airport passenger profile. We’re thrilled to build on our strong global history with the brand as it begins its first activities in our country and look forward to our guests seeing that
