adminFood Concepts PLC was founded in 1999 and began operations in 2000. Initially, the company acquired important franchises from notable South African Quick Service Restaurant operators to manage and operate these brands in Nigeria. Over time, Food Concepts expanded its portfolio by acquiring the Butterfield brand and creating new brands such as Chicken Republic, PieXpress, Yum Yum, and The Chop Box. Upon restructuring, Food Concepts now exclusively owns and manages the Chicken Republic, PieXpress, and The Chop Box brands. Chicken Republic, which was established in 2004, has grown rapidly, with 55 stores opened across Nigeria and Ghana. Chicken Republic is known as the fastest-growing chicken QSR in West Africa and the leading chicken QSR in Nigeria, both in terms of revenue and number of outlets. It was also ranked among Nigeria’s top 20 brands in the 2009 Financial Standards Awards.
