Nando’s Plans Irish Expansion Despite Profit Decline

Nando’s Eyes U.S. Expansion Despite Inflationary Pressures

Popular chicken ‍chain Nando’s is setting its sights on the U.S. market, even as rising costs impact its Irish operations.

The Irish arm of the fast-casual restaurant operator, Nando’s Chickenland Ireland Ltd, recently reported a 16% decline in pre-tax profits⁢ to €4.7 million for the year ending February 25th. This dip is attributed to inflationary pressures and increased costs, despite an 11% surge in revenues to €34.2 million.

Despite these challenges, the company remains optimistic about its future, both in Ireland and beyond. ⁣

“The company is currently looking for potential sites ⁢to open more restaurants in the Republic of⁢ Ireland,” the directors stated in their ⁤latest accounts.

This expansionary drive⁢ comes as Nando’s continues to see strong customer demand. “In the first quarter of the financial year february 2025, sales⁢ continued to grow, and we have been extremely encouraged ⁣by ⁢customer demand,” the directors noted.

However, thay acknowledge the ongoing impact of inflation. “Cost inflation remains at elevated levels,” they stated, citing heightened commodity prices, geopolitical instability, and a global economic climate contributing to “decade-high inflation levels.”

To mitigate these challenges, Nando’s is implementing various cost-management initiatives. “However, we expect these factors to serve as a notable drag on our performance in the current financial year,” the directors cautioned.

Looking ahead, Nando’s remains committed to ⁢its growth strategy, focusing on increasing restaurant⁤ numbers, profitability, and‍ market share.

“The company’s strategy through the period is to continue to grow in terms of restaurant numbers, profitability, and ⁤market share,” the directors stated. “To drive profitability and market share,the company will continue to focus on‍ existing locations and develop opportunities for like-for-like growth.”

while the U.S. expansion plans are still in their early stages, Nando’s success in Ireland suggests the popular chicken chain could be poised to make a splash in the American market.
