The Kebab Co comprises 10 franchised stores, all located in major shopping centres in Western Australia and will be merged with the Aktiv group’s new franchised brand, Skewerz Kebabz. Most of the existing Kebab Co stores will be converted and rebranded by mid-2011.
Aktiv group’s CEO and managing director, Stuart Beechen, said “the acquisition provides additional opportunities for the Aktiv group and the franchisees of each system by allowing for the integration of products, collaborative marketing initiatives, co-branding, supply economics and leveraging of the Aktiv franchise management systems.”
The first store in the Skewerz Kebabz chain in Western Australia opened in Cetro Galleria Shopping Centre, Morley, earlier this month.
