McDonald\u2019s are establishing themselves in Kenya, in a period of time that has seen several pre-established brands ramp up their growth plans. McDonald\u2019s is one of the world\u2019s leading restaurant chains and serves around 69 million customers on a daily basis worldwide.<\/p>\n

The first McDonald\u2019s store in Kenya is expected to open within six months as part of a franchising system. <\/p>\n

McDonald\u2019s has already begun inviting potential investors to submit applications for new franchises; this has been the strongest sign yet of their intent in establishing themselves in Kenya. Other renowned brands like Subway and Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) have been working on plans to further grow their business in the nation.<\/p>\n

According to sources, the first McDonald\u2019s restaurant in Kenya will be opened at a Total Fuel station on Dennis Pritt road in Kilimani Estate, Nairobi Area.<\/p>\n
