 KFC, the first international fast food franchise restaurant in Suriname, was opened in September 1996 and has had a substantial influence on local dining. Our second restaurant, which opened in February 1998, became the standard for the restaurant industry in Suriname. The success of KFC attracted local, regional and international competition.
Nevertheless, KFC was able to maintain its leadership position in chicken with an average annual sales growth of 27%, which has resulted in plans to open a third outlet in 2005.
