The Company was founded on the 6th of December 1999, initially known as Food Concepts & Entertainment Limited, and commenced its operations in 2000. In a Special Resolution dated 10 May 2009, the company underwent a transformation from a Private Limited Liability Company to a Public Limited Liability Company, along with a name change to Food Concepts Plc.
Upon its inception, Food Concepts secured valuable franchises from renowned South African Quick Service Restaurant operators, granting them the responsibility to manage and operate these brands within Nigeria. Over time, the company expanded its portfolio by acquiring the Butterfield brand and by custom developing and nurturing new brands, including Chicken Republic, PieXpress, Yum Yum, and The Chop Box.
In a subsequent corporate restructuring and divestment, Food Concepts now exclusively owns and manages the Chicken Republic, PieXpress and The Chop Box brands as proprietary food brands.
