Mr. Amit Jatia, vice-chairman, WDL said “We built and established our core business over the last two decades. It’s now time to introduce this new format as the acceptance for coffee is growing. This format will bring incremental business to our overall business while establishing McDonald’s a coffee destination as well.”
