Chicken Republic is a committed supporter of Nigerian production. It buys all its products, produce, poultry, and raw materials through Nigerian companies and does not import anything itself. Thus, every Naira the business spends goes into the local economy in one way or another, whether it is through job creation, property rentals, local or federal taxes. The business is also committed to supporting grassroots entrepreneurs from whom it purchases fresh produce for its central kitchens and 100 restaurants.[2]

Overview

Chicken Republic is headquartered in Lagos, Nigeria.[3] The company is a subsidiary of Food concepts Plc, a Nigerian food based company.[4]

The company is arguably Nigeria's largest chicken restaurant chain[5] with over 26 outlets in Lagos and over 70 outlets nationwide. Chicken Republic has also expanded services to other West African countries including Ghana.[5][6][7][8][9]
