Italian coffee chain Lavazza is set to make a comeback in India through a franchise agreement with Culinary Brands, which is backed by Burger King and Subway operator Everstone Capital.
The deal includes Lavazza coffee vending machines Fresh & Honest.
Lavazza coffee would be introduced in several Subway stores since Everstone already operates BK Coffee under the Burger King franchise in the country.
Lavazza exited India in 2014 after selling off its stake in Barista Coffee to the local company Carnation Hospitality.
India has recently become the promised land for many international cafe retail chains due to the rise in consumer demand for premium coffee and coffee experience.
Australian coffee chain The Coffee Club is set to open its first store next year in partnership with local franchiser CK Israni Group while Canadian coffee brand Tim Hortons plans to open over 250 stores in India over the next five years.
