UAE’s Halal Chicken Chain ChicKing Debuts in Malaysia

PETALING JAYA 10th November – ChicKing Friend Chicken, a fast casual restaurant chain known for its range of delicious and fresh fried chicken meals, today announced the official opening of its first Malaysia first outlet at Tropicana City Mall, Malaysia.

Mr. A.K. Mansoor, Managing Director of Banquet Foods International Sdn. Bhd. said: “The food and beverage market in Malaysia is experiencing good growth, so we felt it was the right time for us to introduce our chain of halal chicken outlets into the country. Our unique blend of spices coupled with our special method of cooking result in tasty chicken that is not only less oily but also appealing to the Asian palate.”

Established in 2000 under Banquet Foods International, Dubai, United Arab Emirates (Part of the highly reputable and renowned Dubai based Al Bayan Group of Compaines), ChicKing is opening its 40th outlet at Tropicana City Mall and aims to open 13 more outlets in the pipeline by this year’s end adding to the company’s 40 operating outlets in 10 countries. Globally, ChicKing targets to open 300 outlets by 2015.

Mr, Mansoor also said, “We plan to open 50 outlets in the Asia-Pacific region through franchising in the next three years, 25 in Malaysia and the remaining in the South East and East Asian market.
“Among the countries that we have targeted other than Malaysia are Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Brunei, Philippines, China and Taiwan. In Malaysia, our second ChicKing outlet has just open in Dataran Pahlawan, Malacca and we will be opening one more in Shah Alam next month.”

“ChicKing have identified and chosen Malaysia to be its franchise hub for expansion into this region because of the strong commitment by the government to the franchise industry, as well as worldwide recognition of its halal certification due to its stringent criteria which is sought after and recognized by other countries. Furthermore, the established regulatory framework would bring added recognition to ChicKing as a franchisor. Malaysia also has the right infrastructure to support ChicKing interms of the halal supply chain, as a base for training and availability of franchise advisory services.” – he added.

ChicKing is a rapidlygrowing quick-service global restaurant chain specializing in serving the tastiest, certified “HALAL”, crumb fried chicken using special original and spicy recipes which feature a unique blend of the choicest herbs and spices.
