Cosmo Restaurants Sdn Bhd, a franchisee of fast food Burger King restaurants in Malaysia, will spend 27 million ringgit (8 million U.S. dollars) to open 50 outlets throughout Malaysia in the next five years, local media reported on Monday.
Its director of operations Khaled Hammam made the announcement after opening the third Burger King outlet in Malaysian southern Johor state, which features a 24-hour drive-through on Saturday.
The restaurant is its 22nd outlet in Malaysia.
There are now five round-the-clock Burger King restaurants in the country, and six are in petrol kiosks.
"We are keeping an open mind and may open outlets in shopping malls if the terms and location are feasible," the New Straits Times quoted Khaled as saying.
Although drive-throughs generate attractive returns, not all of the 50 new outlets which the company is planning to open will have the service, Khaled said.
"It is not easy to find a good location and we also need a big area to set up a drive-through," Khaled said.
Burger King ranks the fourth by number of outlets in Malaysia's fast food market, after KFC, McDonald's and Pizza Hut.
