In 2018, Chicky Chic marks its 12th year anniversary. Despite of its strong presence in schools and universities over the years, the brand has a lot of potential to be known in a wider circle.

Even though there will be several new approaches coming out of the brand throughout the year, food safety remains one of our highest priorities as it has always been. To ensure great taste and excellent quality, all of the Chicky Chic products are manufactured from globally certified factories and eligible to export to a number of destinations, including Europe and Japan, which are known for exceptional food safety standard.

Food and beverages business has been one of the most successful industries in Thailand during the past years. The market of fried chicken values 14,000 million Baht, which is considered the largest segment among other kind of fast food and makes up 40% of the whole industry. Although most of the researches are done based on QSR segment (Quick Service Restaurants), there were over 100 new food-related franchises established in 2017 alone. The number shows outstanding demand from both consumers and vendors side. Fried chicken secures its position in top 5 most popular food categories among other franchise business, with the highest growth of 2-4% in a year-long period.
"One of Chicky Chic's unique selling points is, it allows anyone to be an owner in food business." Points out the CEO, "The cost of investment is reasonable when compared to other franchises that share similar quality standard. There is almost no specific skill required - We only need your motivation and attention to get the business running. These frozen fully cooked fries and chickens allow our franchisees to easily manage stock, which results to zero food waste – simplify cost and profit calculation. Anyone can become a business owner without hassles."
Chicky Chic is expecting 15% revenue growth and 30% increase in branches at the end of 2018. The company is confident that the number will be achieved from major improvements, both brand and operation-wise.
"Progressive and sustainable growth have always been our priorities" Points out the CEO. "But it's not only for the brand itself, but also all of our franchisees. There's no way we can expand without a solid foundation and support from our franchisees. We want to see them thrive in the business. To us, their problems and struggles are as important as their success stories and we want to be with them in every step."
