Nando's

Nando's is an international fast food business based in South Africa that specializes in flame-grilled peri-peri chicken. Nando's was founded in Johannesburg in 1987 and now has over 1,200 locations in 30 countries. The Rooster of Barcelos, one of Portugal's most well-known emblems, appears in their logo.

Several years ago, the brand was extremely prominent and had a strong on-going growth and market presence in Australia, but it has seen a major fall in recent years. The firm claims to operate a "blended franchise and corporate-owned retail model."

Unfortunately, the firm has been highlighted prominently in recent news about retail renovation expenses and closures. The renovations appear to be critical in positioning the brand for the future competitive fast food / casual dining consumer market.
