Taking over franchise management, Apollo Group will open a new-concept KFC restaurant at Akropole

Significantly, as part of efforts to develop the KFC brand in the Baltic region, the KFC restaurant chain in the Baltics will henceforth be managed under the Apollo Group umbrella by Marius Stonkus, who has experience managing companies of various international scales. Under his supervision, special attention will also be devoted to training new and existing employees abroad with leading professionals in the industry. Within the next few years, a training centre is also planned to be established in the Baltics, where customer service standards will be learned by waiters and shift supervisors, as well as restaurant managers and their assistants. New restaurants are primarily planned to open in capital cities, but Stonkus is also optimistic about expanding into nearer and more distant regions elsewhere in Latvia and the Baltics.

It is planned that Latvia’s first KFC restaurant, located in Old Riga, will also be renovated and adapted to the new interior and service quality concept in the coming months. KFC currently provides jobs for 130 employees in the Baltics, but this number is planned to increase to as many as 800 within the next three years, across more than 20 new restaurants in the fast-food chain. Apollo Group also plans to enter the Estonian market soon with the first new-concept KFC restaurant.
