KFC Franchise Expanding In India

KUALA TERENGGANU, Feb 28 (Bernama) -- Fast food operator, KFC Holdings (Malaysia) Bhd, in a move to further spread its wings overseas, will establish 10 outlets in India this year.

Its Chairman Tan Sri Muhammad Ali Hashim said KFC, which operated 540 outlets in Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei and Cambodia, would spend RM1.2 million to set up each outlet.

The franchisee of the KFC chain of restaurants invests an average RM35 million, annually, in its operations and sales had always excessed RM1 billion.

"The venture into India is a long-term move and the outlets there will only serve halal food," he told reporters after opening the KFC Graduate Enterprenuership 2010 Programme here on Sunday.

Muhammad Ali said two outlets would open in Mumbai, with one outlet operating in Pune, where several universities were located.

He also said KFC had 25,000 employees manning its outlets in Malaysia, Singapore, Cambodia and Brunei and this figure was expected to spiral further as KFC opened more outlets.

KFC Holdings, which emerged as the most profitable among KFC operations in the region for two consecutive years, opened 44 outlets last year, with seven located in Cambodia.

On the graduate entreprenuership programme, Muhammad Ali said it had given birth to 63 women entreprenuers among single mothers and graduates.

KFC Holdings hopes to realise its target of helping 1,000 single mothers become entreprenuers, next year, under the programme.
