The Great Kabab Factory has said it is scouting for partners in British and Southeast Asian markets to accelerate its overseas expansion.
The chain, which currently operates six restaurants in West Asia, besides 12 others in the country, said it plans another 10-12 outlets in international markets by 2012 and is exploring the franchise and joint venture routes for this.
The company is in talks with a couple of local players in those markets for starting operations said by a senior company official. The Great Kabab Factory is owned by the Delhi-based AB Hotels, which is the owner of the Radisson Hotels properties in Delhi and Varanasi, and RHW Management Services.
The chain ventured overseas in 2007 and now operates six outlets in West Asia, including three in the UAE, and one each in Bahrain, Oman and Saudi Arabia. The Manama, Bahrain-based conglomerate Jawad Business Group is the master franchise of TGKF in West Asia.
