Fried chicken empire KFC yesterday announced it had signed a deal with B&Q China to set up drive-through restaurants at selected stores.
The first of the new KFC restaurants will be located at three B&Q stores in Shanghai, Qingdao and Wuxi. In the next three years, KFC plans to open 100 more drive-throughs in China through partnerships of this kind.
The move, together with a similar one taken by McDonald’s China last year, provides a glimpse at the sort of expansion other chain restaurants may follow in coming years, said Guo Geping, chair of the China Chain Store & Franchise Association (CCFA).
Last June, McDonald’s announced it would open drive-through restaurants at selected Sinopec service stations.
KFC drive-through restaurants, located inside B&Q stores or around parking areas, will be different from other drive-throughs in having a 100-meter-long track tailored for automobiles to wait in a queue. Drivers will be able to get what they want in few minutes without getting out of their cars.
“KFC is seeing drive-throughs as a major way to expand local business,” said Sam Su, president of Yum! Brands Inc China Division.
