In a thrilling move, VRO Hospitality, India's dynamic F&B chain, is set to unveil four new PlanB outlets across Bengaluru, marking a significant stride in its expansion journey. This venture adds to the already vibrant culinary scene in the city, further enhancing its gastronomic offerings.

The four strategic locations for the new outlets—Domlur, Jayanagar, Yelahanka, and Electronic City—have been chosen with precision, ensuring accessibility and convenience for patrons. The Electronic City outlet stands out as the largest among the quartet, offering a spacious and inviting environment for diners.

With a keen eye for blending aesthetics and modernity, VRO Hospitality has teamed up with Lefthander, a distinguished graffiti artist from Kerala, to infuse the new outlets with contemporary graffiti art. This collaboration not only adds a fresh visual dimension but also resonates with the youthful spirit that defines PlanB.

Sharath Rice, COO & Co-Founder of VRO Hospitality, expressed his enthusiasm for the expansion, highlighting how PlanB has been enthralling its customers for the past 13 years with its delectable flavors and lively ambiance. Interestingly, this expansion aligns serendipitously with the 13th anniversary of PlanB, bringing the total outlets in Bengaluru to 13—an uncanny alignment of numbers.

PlanB, known for its eclectic menu spanning chicken wings, burgers, pizzas, and more, maintains an ambiance of relaxed comfort and regularly offers tempting deals. It has become a favored destination for food enthusiasts, catering to diverse tastes while upholding a youthful atmosphere.

This expansion coincides with VRO Hospitality's broader growth across India, with PlanB outlets now present not only in Bengaluru but also in Kochi, Hyderabad, and Kolkata.

To commemorate this milestone, PlanB is treating its patrons to an array of 13 new flavors of grilled chicken wings, available for a limited time until August 15th. These flavors have been thoughtfully crafted to tantalize adventurous taste buds, bringing a mix of smoky, spicy, and zesty notes to each bite. From the zingy Citrus Peri Peri to the aromatic Basil Pesto & Chilli, there's an option for every palate.

Priced affordably, the wings are available in various portions—half a dozen, a dozen, grilled wings, and veggie wings. This culinary delight is poised to be a hit across all four cities where PlanB has set its culinary footprint.

With the inclusion of these four new outlets, PlanB's presence in India has expanded into a network of 16 outlets. As VRO Hospitality continues to redefine the culinary landscape, PlanB promises not just a meal, but an experience that resonates with flavor, innovation, and youthful exuberance.
