Chicken Republic, West Africa's largest quick service restaurant (QSR) chain, has announced that Glovo and Chowdeck will be its delivery partners in Nigeria. This partnership is aimed at addressing the last mile delivery challenge and providing enhanced customer service. Glovo operates in 58 Chicken Republic stores across Lagos, Abuja, and Ibadan, while Chowdeck is present in these locations as well as Port Harcourt. Customers can now place orders through either of these two delivery partners. The organized fast-food industry in Nigeria is estimated at $602.5 million and has been growing at a rate of 10% annually.
