United States-based fast food chain Burger King has revealed plans to spend more than Sh270 million annually to open new branches in Kenya.
This is part of the restaurant’s plan to expand its footprint in the Kenyan market.
Under the expansion plan, Burger King looks to launch up to three new restaurants in Kenya every year.
“We hope if the market is good enough to grow into East and Central Africa. We were thinking of roughly 10 but we realized that is too ambitious. We are looking at two to three (per year),” said Cornelius Muhati, Burger King Kenya operations manager.
The announcement comes days after the franchise opened its fifth branch in Nairobi at a cost of Sh90 million.
The new restaurant is located at the new Lavington Shell Fuel Station, which was opened late last year.
“The new outlet is part of the franchise’s continued expansion agenda that has seen the brand open four other outlets in the past three years with the most recent at Thika Road Mall,” said Burger King in a statement.
“The new branch with a drive-in facility will provide both motorists and shoppers with the opportunity to experience Burger King’s world-renowned burgers, the whopper among other products whilst enjoying the full Burger King experience in a stress-free and convenient environment.”
The Miami-headquartered fast-food chain opened its first branch in Nairobi at The Hub, Karen in November 2016.
Burger King also operates three other outlets at Thika Road Mall, and on Muindi Mbingu Street and Moi Avenue in Nairobi CBD.
These is genocide. The…
These is genocide. The obesity rates catching up with the West.
Medical apartheid already warned us of GMO and other food made in the lab with harmful substances.
But you’ll find Nairobi slay queens there enjoying their free time??
AJABU! Hapa nilipo Marekani…
AJABU! Hapa nilipo Marekani, kampuni hii ya Burger King imefunga mikahawa mingi sana. Watu wengi hawaendi kununua chakula huko.
Wamarekani wachache wameanza sasa kula vyakula ambavyo havidhuru mwili. Imekuwakuwaje sasa wanaosimamia Burger Ktatudhuru punde si punde kwenye siku za usoni?
@ Ndugu Imara.Reminds me…
@ Ndugu Imara.Reminds me when DDT was banned,and cigarette smoking heavily discouraged in USA.The distribution was directed to Africa and other 3rd world countries. In the case of cigarettes understand that smoking has quadrupled in some of these countries.
Cancer has been reeking havoc in Kenya.Iwonder if there is connection to the DDT use in the 70s&,80s…Have chickens come home to roost?We cannt just keep on accepting anything the west throws at as,when we know that some of these things are facing opposition in their mother country.If this trend continues ,my great grand kids will be asking,”What happened to that white cake grand papa and ma used to make for us ,and we would eat it with some guts called matumbo…”

The problem with many…
The problem with many Kenyans in Kenya is ignorance. They think that eating these types of food is a symbol of affluence. Some people also think eating pizza is something fancy. It may be exotic, but it cheap and unhealthy. I wish they knew these are fastfoods/cheap/trash/cancerous food! Kenyan government need to step in and regulate the types of chicken/meat these people are serving ignorant Kenyans.
Nothing new here. This is…
Nothing new here. This is why the US government looked the other way when Jubilee rigged elections. Stupid government letting in all manner of filthy rejects. Siwezi shangazwa na chochote kinachohusisha Jubilee. Watu wao tu ndio wataadhirika, all in the name of $$$$$$
Black genocide already in…
Black genocide already in existence in US is fast being transferred to the African.
It’s one thing for these…
It’s one thing for these mega corporations to make profit providing equipment and services to us that are otherwise not possible without their input. Things like machineries, high-tech medics, automobiles, high tech technology etc. But how do you justify letting mega corps take money from Kenya, affect our foreign exchange, cooking hamburgers, coffee, fried Chicken, Chinese food etc, for us? Shouldn’t we do some of these things for ourselves? As for jobs, there is barely any. Most of these fast food joints use modern tech cooking gizmos that require little labor. As for health, we’re in trouble because they will serve filth and our people are going to be sick. Also these fast food joints and other foreign owned eateries would make perfect mass poisoning centers if and when they decide to eliminate us in masses. Can they really kill us in mass? Some of you are asking. Well think of AIDS and thousands and thousands of our loved ones that were wiped out by AIDS.

Burger King is selling franchises in Kenya.

Ndugu yangu @Maxley:
Ningependa kujua, waziri wa afya Kenya kazi yake ni ipi ikiwa hawezi kufanya utafiti (research) na kujua chakula tunachouziwa na wageni katika nchi yetu?
Sijui kwa uhakika ni wakati gani lakini nilisoma kuna hoteli moja ya Kichina iliyowauzia wananchi “nyama ya mbwa?” Kweli Kenya tuna marafiki wa ajabu!
Jambo lililo muhimu ni kwamba, tusipojiheshimu (unless we respect ourselves), hakuna mtu yeyote duniani atakayetuheshimu.
Kwanza, tuyatupe majina ya kigeni. Pili, tusibadilishe rangi ya ngozi yetu. Tatu, tusibadilishe nywele zetu au kuvaa nywele za bandia (wigs). Nne, ni lazima tuondoke kwenye dini zote za kigeni ambazo zinamdharau MWUMBAJI MKUU kwa kutufundisha tujichukie. Tano, ni lazima tujivunie asili yetu na pia lugha zetu za asili.
Ningependa wajumbe wote watakaochaguliwa 2022 wakisema na kuandika Kiswahili. Litakuwa jambo la busara na heshima sana kama lugha yetu ya taifa Kiswahili itatumiwa kwenye bunge na pia ishara zote barabara (road signs) ziandikwe kwa Kiswahili na pia Kiingereza.
@ Ndugu Imara, nakuunga…
@ Ndugu Imara, nakuunga mkono.Iam sure if you go to the chinese National Peoples Congress you will not hear them speak in English of French.
I while ago Koigi Wamwere was attack in paliament for wearing his african regalia.I questioned why the Mpigs would not follow his good example,of pride if something african,and wanted him to put a”ribbon” on his neck like them.
Iam sure you have seem ndugu zetu from west africa in UN. They are always proudly displaying their outfits.Therefore change starts with our leaders.
KFC walijipenyeza pole pole…
KFC walijipenyeza pole pole na sasa wako popote pale, huku Wakenya wakilamba lamba vidole bila kufahamu na kuelewa kwamba, utamu huo ndio mwanzo ya maafa ya pole pole. Na badala KFC kiboresha maisha ya wakulima wa kuku za kienyeji, serikali inawaruhusu waagize kuku kutoka Marekani ambazo zimedungwa madawa yenye itawaadhiri wateja. Huku kukiwa na mlipuko wa magonjwa haswa ya saratani, serikali hii ya Kifrika inawasherehekea wauaji wengine kama hawa wa Burger King. Matokeo? Mlipuko mwingine wa magonjwa yatokanayo na kujaza unene kama vile yale ya kiroho, kisukari, figo, saratani ya mara, na hata pia ya viungo. Tayari Papa John, ameshaanza kulenga soko la kuuza pizza, ambapo sasa Wakenya wanamumunya na kusiaga chakula hiki, ambacho virutubishi vyake ni hatari kwa mwanadamu. Ni jukumu la serikali yoyote ile kulinda afya na maisha ya wananchi wake. Wakati viongozi hawa wanaiba na kufoka foka vile watakavyochaguliwa 2020, manyangume kutoka nchi za ulaya wanapenya pole pole huku wakiwa na nia ya kumuangamiza mtu mweusi: mimi na wewe. Tazama jinsi Wazungu wa Kimarekani wamemkamdamiza mtu mweusi Marekani, kiasi kwamba hata baada ya utumwa kuangamizwa, weuzi wanaangamizwa na magonjwa mbali mbali. Ifikapo mwaka wa 2055, hamna mtu mweusi atakaye kuwa akimanga manga duniani hii tena.
Hebu tazameni mwone vile…
Hebu tazameni mwone vile huyu Dada yetu Wanjiru Kagira kutoka Kenya anavyowapikia Wamarekani na Wakenya wengine chakula kizuri cha Kenya katika nchi ya Marekani.

@Ndugu Imara, that clip is inspiring.Certainly if I happen to be in Seattle ,I will step in for ugali.I Wish her continued success,and probably become a food franchise.
If chinese,Italians,Mexicans… ,can make it why not Kenyans.Yes we can.
Burger King?
As they close…
Burger King?
As they close those fast food restaurants in the West, they open them in Africa. This is the next war zone as we get poisoned.
Watch on YouTube ” Uganda Arrests ws British man for poisoning Ugandans with Bleach-
Also watch ” We spread AIDS to wipe out Blacks in South Africa ”
We will end up with all the dirty,unwanted garbage in our “so called burgers” in the name of investment. (All the garbage will end up in “shit-hole” countries)
Those Western fast food restaurants will be our poisoning centers!!
