KOTA BHARU – Fast food chain McDonald's Malaysia will open five new restaurants in Kelantan by next year, said McDonald’s Malaysia managing director and local operating partner Datuk Azmir Jaafar.
He said two new restaurants will open this year, while the rest are expected to open next year.
“A new restaurant will be opened next week in Troika, Kota Baru, and another before the end of this year at the Gua Musang rest and relax stop.
“Three more locations have been identified in Pasir Puteh and Tumpat, respectively, and they will be opened next year,” he told a press conference after the McDonald’s Malaysia corporate zakat payment ceremony to the Kelantan Islamic Religious and Malay Customs Council here today.
Azmir said McDonald’s Malaysia has long-term plans to open 20 new restaurants in Kelantan within a period of five years.
“Every restaurant needs 100 workers, so with 20 restaurants, we can hold (offer) over 2,000 new jobs to locals,” he said, adding that the fast food chain does not hire foreigners. – Bernama, July 12, 2022
