QSR eyes 8pc revenue growth in 2014

KUALA LUMPUR: QSR Brands (M) Holdings Sdn Bhd, the operator of KFC restaurants, aims to achieve more than eight per cent growth in revenue next year to be generated from new stores and product launches. 

Last year the group registered a revenue of RM3.6 billion.
Managing Director Datuk Ahmad Zaki Zahid said 50 new stores will be opened by year-end.

"Currently, we have 41 stores in the Klang Valley, Seremban, Johor Baharu and Melaka, and an additional nine more are planned to be opened in Penang and the Klang Valley by the end of this year.

"We will continue to expand and have wider coverage extending to other states such as Sabah and Sarawak in the near future," he told reporters after the signing ceremony here between KFC (Peninsular Malaysia) Sdn Bhd and Eclimo Sdn Bhd on the supply of electric scooters.

The electric scooters are plug-in electric vehicles with two or three wheels that can be recharged from any external electricity source.

Ahmad Zaki also said that the company will take the lead in the Malaysian Quick Service Restaurant Delivery sector by using eco-friendly electric scooters. 

"This is in line with efforts to do our part to conserve energy at every operating stage and to be as environmentally responsible as possible," he added.

The group will be investing about RM4 million to RM5 million to build a KFC green restaurant in July next year, he said, adding that the project is still in the planning stage.

Ahmad Zaki said this year's sales performance was satisfactory, adding the company expects a 15 per cent growth in sales next year bolstered by its new products and new stores.
