California-based and family-owned Panda Express which serves American Chinese cuisine has entered into a partnership with Mumbai India-based JSM restaurant chains. JSM will likely roll out the largely self-serviced outlets of Panda Express over the next six months starting with major metros, with plans to open about 50 outlets over the next five years, reports Economic Times.
JSM, backed by Wipro founder Azim Premji‘s investment fund PremjiInvest, runs eight brand properties with close to 30 outlets — Hard Rock Cafe, California Pizza Kitchen, Pinkberry, Shiro, Plus91, The Big Kanuha, Asilo and Ginger Tiger.
