Aktiv franchise group announces acquisition of The Kebab Co fast food franchises

Western Australian brand The Kebab Co , which comprises ten fast food franchises located in major shopping centres in WA, has been acquired by the Aktiv franchise group.

Owners of the popular Bucking Bull Roast & Grill franchise, the Aktiv group plans to merge The Kebab Co with its new franchised brand, Skewerz Kebabz.

Most of the existing Kebab Co fast food franchises will be converted and rebranded by mid 2011.

Aktiv group CEO and Managing Director, Stuart Beechen notes that the new acquisition provides additional opportunities for the company and its franchisees.

“We are always on the lookout for opportunities to add value in the retail fast food sector. Skewerz Kebabz is another exciting and unique brand which we’ve invested a lot of time and resources in and we believe it has great potential,” he says.

The first store in the Skewerz Kebabz network of take away franchises recently opened in Centro Galleria Shopping Centre, Morley.

Franchise owner Basil Bresgi has been appointed as one of the Master Franchisees for both The Kebab Co and Skewerz Kebabz in Western Australia.

Basil says that “the opportunity for The Kebab Co to join the Aktiv group was an easy choice considering the franchise support, marketing and group purchasing benefits provided to me as a Bucking Bull franchisee over the past 10 years.”

With this latest acquisition, Aktiv group now manages 44 fast food franchises across Australia.
