Earlier this month, Spanish restaurant operator AmRest agreed to sell its KFC restaurant business in Russia to Almira, a Russian restaurant and entertainment company.
The deal consideration was at least €100m ($104.48m).
AmRest initiated the process in March this year, after KFC and Pizza Hut brands owner Yum! Brands decided to exit the Russian market following Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine.
AmRest has been operating in the Russian market since 2007. At present, it operates 215 restaurants. Meanwhile, in October this year, KFC introduced all-digital KFC Smart Restaurants across India, starting with the cities of Hyderabad, Gurgaon, Chennai as well as Bengaluru.
