Two new stores of Eat’N’Go Limited, a leading franchisee for world-class food brands, Domino’s Pizza, Cold Stone Creamery, and Pinkberry Gourmet Frozen Yoghurt, have been opened in Kano.
The opening of the new outlets in Kano is in line with the expansion drive of the company in order to extend its product and service delivery to several parts of Nigeria.
At the unveiling of the new stores on Wednesday, March 31, 2021, the Governor of Kano State, Mr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, who was represented by his aide on Rural Development, Mr Ibrahim Gaya, described the development as “an exciting moment for not just the fast-growing food industry in Kano, but for the economy of our dear state.”
“Over the past few years, we have increased our commitment towards making Kano State a choice destination for businesses to function and Eat’N’Go’s presence in our state confirms that we are on the right track.
“We are excited about the opportunities this will create for the people Kano and we will continue to provide all the support needed to ensure even more businesses come in.”
Business Post gathered that one of the outlets is located at Central Hotel, Bompai Road, while the other is on Zoo Road, Kano.
The Group CEO of Eat’N’Go, Mr Pat McMichael, reinforced the commitment of the company to growing its investments in the country as well as providing jobs and business opportunities for Nigerians across the country.
“Since we commenced operations in Nigeria in 2012, our focus has always been to not just offer delicious offerings to customers, but to largely contribute to the Nigerian economy.
“We believe that expanding our businesses to several parts of the country is a strategic way to provide jobs and business opportunities for Nigerians in Nigeria. Having spread far and wide across the southern and western parts of the country, we are very proud to extend our footprint into Kano.
“Presently, Eat’N’Go is home to over 3000 employees and hundreds of local suppliers. We believe that this expansion will avail us more opportunity to employ more people, especially in the local community here in Kano,” he said.
Speaking further, he said, “We are thankful to all our stakeholders and customers for the continued supports.
“Our focus is our people, and with our excellent service and continuous innovation, we will continue to bring the best of experience to the great people of Kano.”
