John Keells sells Sri Lanka Pizza Hut franchise


March 20, 2007 – (LBO) –John Keells Holdings has sold its restaurant business in Sri Lanka to a regional franchise holder for an undisclosed sum, the company said Friday.

JKH said Keells Restaurants (Private) Limited and Crescat Restaurants (Private) Limited which held the franchises for Pizza Hut and Delifrance in Sri Lanka were sold to Gamma Pizzakraft Overseas (Private) Limited.

The parent company of Gamma Pizzakraft has the franchise for Pizza Huts in the national capital region of Delhi in India, JKH said.


Damn it ! JKH was doing an awesomely great job on those franchises (at least Pizza Hut), now they've been sold to an Indian Company ?...:ohno: I can't seem to find any info about them on the net yet though :bleep:

I trust our beloved JKH than any Indian Company on keeping the standards, Who owns the KFC and McDonalds by the way ? KFC seems to be expanding pretty fast but Mac seems to be stuck in the process.. Oh and we need our own World Class Local Fast Food Franchises.

They shouldve sold Pizza Hut to the KFC franchisee in SL due to the fact that the 2 brands are owned by the same company in the US! But Im sure the new owners will keep up the standards, so dont worry!
