Max’s Expanding To US, Middle East, Australia

BusinessWorld Online:

The firm behind local chicken chain Max’s Restaurant expects faster sales growth this year due to continued expansion and a projected uptick in the economy, the restaurant’s top executive said late last week.

Max’s, Inc. is eyeing 12% to 16% growth this year, better than the 7% recorded in 2009, company president Robert F. Trota told reporters at the sidelines of a franchising industry conference.

“It’s because of the new stores,” Mr. Trota said, noting that six more branches are opening this year to bring the total to 129 by yearend.

The new franchises include two in the United States which are slated to open this month, Mr. Trota said.
