The investment plans are related to the network expansion strategy, with the company expecting to open around 20 new restaurants.
Of these, around eight KFC units will be in Romania, two-three KFC ones in Italy, a KFC restaurant in the Republic of Moldova, two Taco Bell restaurants in Romania, the new Taco Bell of Moldova and around four-five Cioccolati Italiani units, according to Valentin Budes, the company’s CFO.
Beside the expansion of existing brands, the group readies to enter the casual dining-type restaurant segment via Hard Rock Café franchise. The first such restaurant is likely to be opened in late 2026.
