On July 4, 2019, Big Square, a South African-owned fast-food chain, expanded its footprint in the Kenyan market by opening its 13th branch at Shell Service Station in Mountain View.
The new outlet joins other popular food chains such as KFC and Java Coffee that have been setting up new branches in the upmarket neighborhood.
Oil marketer Vivo Energy, which trades in Kenya under the Shell brand name, opened the fuel stop a couple of years ago, citing it among its single-largest investment service stations in Africa.
According to Big Square, the new restaurant outlet will provide both motorists and shoppers with the opportunity to experience their array of delicious and authentic home-made meals in a relaxed environment.
Big Square's expansion in Kenya comes at a time when Vivo Energy is seeking to attract small consumer-focused businesses to its properties to boost fuel sales and grow rental income.
