KANGAR: QSR Brands (M) Holdings Bhd plans to open 15 new KFC restaurants throughout the country by the end of this year following the opening of 30 new outlets in 2019.
Managing director Datuk Seri Mohamed Azahari Mohamed Kamil said of the 15 restaurants, at least six have been earmarked to be drive-through outlets.
“In opening the new restaurants, the company will collaborate with housing developers in certain areas because they (developers) believe that the presence of the KFC iconic brand would attract more residents to the area,” he told reporters after witnessing the launch of the first KFC Drive-Thru outlet in Perlis officiated by the Raja Muda of Perlis, Tuanku Syed Faizuddin Putra Jamalullail, here today.
The drive-thru is KFC’s sixth outlet in the state.
Also present were the Raja Puan Muda, Tuanku Hajah Lailatul Shahreen Akashah Khalil, and QSR Brands chairman Datuk Kamaruzzaman Abu Kassim.
Mohamed Azahari said all KFC restaurants are now equipped to accept payments by debit or credit cards as well as e-wallet.
He said the facilities would give a different experience to customers and facilitate those who want to order food at its 740 KFC outlets nationwide.
Earlier, Mohamed Azahari presented QSR Brands’s business zakat (tithe) amounting to RM60,729 to the Perlis Islamic and Malay Customs Council (MAIPs) CEO Mohd Nazim Mohd Noor. – Jan 6, 2020 Bernama
