As part of the growth plan and to continue meeting consumers’ expectations, the brand is kickstarting several initiatives such as increasing the number of drive-through restaurants, expanding food delivery services and offering special deals as well as innovative additions to the menu, such as The Fire Dragon Burger, which was a massive hit, garnering social media buzz and breaking initial sales projections.

 

“As a relatively young brand in the highly competitive restaurant segment in Malaysia, being recognized as one of the top eateries in the country is an incredible achievement indeed. This proves that the legendary Texas flavor resonates with local consumers as they have strongly given us their vote of confidence,” said Dato’ Jaya Tan, Executive Chairman of Envictus. “We’ve embraced the challenge of creating excitement for guests who crave variety and unique sensory experiences, while relying on the deep heritage of the Texas Chicken_™ brand which signals authentic hospitality and bold flavors.”

 

Malaysia’s first Texas Chicken_™ opened in 2013 and the brand has continued to grow as it aims to bring more of the legendary Texas flavor to new locations while providing job and career growth opportunities. Sumrall added, “Our Texas Chicken business in Malaysia is an excellent representation for our brand in Southeast Asia and will serve as a springboard to our expansion of Texas Chicken to China, Australia, the Philippines and more!”
