In November 2012, spokesman Sanjay Gupta announced that PB Lifestyle, the company in India with rights to the brand, would be opening its first club in India at Candolim, Goa in December 2012.

Parrikar said only individuals, not corporations, were eligible to operate a beach shack style club. The law did not preclude opening a night club.
