Eat’N’Go limited, the leading Quick Service Restaurant operator in Nigeria and Master Franchisee for world-class food brands – Domino’s Pizza, Cold Stone Creamery, and Pinkberry Gourmet Frozen Yoghurt has expanded into the East African market.

This comes after the successful acquisition of the franchisee which operated Cold Stone Creamery and Domino’s Pizza in Kenya.

The deal will see Eat’N’Go limited become the largest Domino’s Pizza and Cold Stone Creamery Master Franchisee in Africa with operations in Nigeria and Kenya.

Since its entrant into Nigeria in 2012, the leading Quick Service Restaurant company has grown exponentially and continuously nurtured the drive to extend its footprint across the African market.

With the acquisition, it will be the first step towards a pan-African expansion with a total number of 147 outlets across Africa and a projection to reach 180 stores by end of 2021.

The milestone achievement and development will better position the company in its contribution to Nigeria and Africa’s economy.

It will also help to create more jobs. Currently home to over 3000 staff members across Africa, the company is committed to continuously provide job and business opportunities across the continent.

Speaking about the expansion, the Group Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director Eat’N’Go Limited, Mr Patrick McMichael said that expanding into East Africa represents a very exciting time in the growth of the organization and also a strategic investment for the firm and its stakeholders.

“Over the years, we have fostered the mission to not just bring the best QSR brands to Africa, but to directly impact on Africa’s economy and we are glad we are finally on the way to making this happen.

“Studying the growth of the Kenyan market in the last couple of years, we are convinced that now is the time to extend our footprint into the country.”

“We are very thrilled about this expansion as this move avails us more opportunity to provide Jobs to more Africans, especially in times like this.

“We remain thankful to all our customers, partners, and stakeholders who have supported us this far and we are more than ready to strengthen our dedication in satisfying the needs of our customers” Mr Mcmichael added.

Eat’N’Go has over the years maintained its position as the leading food franchisee in Nigeria. As it expands its presence to other parts of Africa, the organization also places a strong focus on the quality of its products and services of all its three brands.

The expansion to this new region is in line with the company’s plan to reach 180 stores across Africa by the end of 2021.
