AmRest to open 300 restaurants next year

WSE-restaurant operator AmRest maintains its target to open over 200 restaurants this year, and plans to open over 300 next year, company’s management board member Wojciech Mroczyński said. “In 2017 we focus on developing the Pizza Hut and KFC chains on new markets. In Q3 we completed several further acquisitions, ie the acquisition of Pizza Hut in Germany and several smaller projects in Germany and Spain (KFC restaurants). Shortly after the end of the third quarter, we also acquired 21 KFC restaurants in Russia,” he said and added that next year the company will be less focused on takeovers and will concentrate on integrating acquired companies. AmRest is on track to open over 200 restaurants this year, the statement also showed.
