Oxford-born premium cookie chain strengthens its India presence with a new outlet at Ambience Mall, catering to rising demand for artisanal and international dessert experiences in NCR
British premium cookie brand Ben’s Cookies has launched its first store in Gurugram at Ambience Mall, marking a significant step in its India expansion strategy and adding another international food and beverage brand to the mall’s growing portfolio.
Founded in Oxford in 1984, Ben’s Cookies has built a global reputation for its freshly baked cookies, authentic British heritage and commitment to premium ingredients. The brand, which began as a small bakery in Oxford’s historic Covered Market, has since expanded internationally and cultivated a loyal customer base across multiple markets.
Bringing British Indulgence to NCR
The new outlet introduces Ben’s Cookies’ signature range of freshly baked products to consumers in Gurugram. The brand is known for using fresh butter, eggs and generous chunks of real Belgian chocolate in its recipes, adhering to its long-standing philosophy of “chunks, not chips”.
Alongside its classic cookie range, the store offers curated gifting options aimed at both individual consumers and special occasions. The company expects the outlet to appeal to dessert enthusiasts seeking premium, artisanal baked products.
Ambience Mall Strengthens Premium F&B Portfolio
Commenting on the launch, Arjun Gehlot, Director of Ambience Group, said the addition of Ben’s Cookies aligns with the mall’s strategy of bringing globally recognised brands and unique consumer experiences to its visitors.
He noted that the British brand’s strong heritage and international appeal complement Ambience Mall’s positioning as a destination for premium retail, dining and lifestyle experiences.
Demand for Premium Dessert Experiences Grows
The launch reflects the growing appetite among NCR consumers for international food brands, artisanal products and premium dessert offerings. Industry observers note that rising disposable incomes and evolving consumer preferences are driving demand for specialised global food concepts across major Indian cities.
With the addition of Ben’s Cookies, Ambience Mall continues to expand its roster of international brands, reinforcing its status as one of the region’s leading retail and lifestyle destinations.
Founded in Oxford, United Kingdom, Ben’s Cookies has spent more than four decades building its reputation around freshly baked cookies crafted from premium ingredients and traditional recipes. The Gurugram opening marks the latest chapter in the brand’s global growth journey and its efforts to tap into India’s expanding premium food and beverage market.
