JOHOR Corp (JCorp), via QSR Brands Bhd, will invest about RM7 million to expand its Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) fast-food outlets in Cambodia.
Its chief executive officer Tan Sri Muhammad Ali Hashim said another two outlets would be set up in Phnom Penh and one each would be open in Siem Reap and Kompong Cham by the end of next year.
It has already opened two stores in Cambodia early this year.
"Besides expanding the fast-food outlets, we are planning to set up our own chicken slaughter centre in Cambodia soon.
"The setting-up of the slaughter house would help to raise confidence among our Muslim customers, where we assured them that our fast-food chains serve 'halal' products," Muhammad Ali told reporters after giving a talk to some 300 entrepreneurs in Alor Star, Kedah, yesterday.
Present were Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Azizan Abdul Razak and State Industry and Investment committee chairman Amiruddin Hamzah.
JCorp, through its subsidiary QSR Brands Bhd, became the first foreign fast-food company to open up an outlet in Cambodia in April.
QSR, through its associate company KFC Holdings, now owns 489 KFC outlets across Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei.
Muhammad Ali said another KFC store would be opened in Kedah soon.
