TenderCuts Plans 22 New Chennai Stores as Profits Rise

TenderCuts sells fresh meat, seafood and other protein products through stores and online orders.

It currently has 18 stores in Chennai.

The company wants to add about 22 more stores there within a year.

It is choosing to grow mainly in Chennai instead of quickly entering many other cities.

TenderCuts says it became profitable after making its stores smaller and reducing costs, discounts and waste.

Its stores also prepare online orders, so it does not need separate dark stores.

The company handles about 40,000 orders each month and says average delivery takes 30 minutes.

It earned positive EBITDA at both store and company levels in FY26.

It also borrowed $2 million to help fund its operations and future growth.
