With this latest deal, it now operates 41 KFC restaurants across London as well as the Midlands.

In addition to KFC, Tahir Group operates other restaurant brands, including German Doner Kebab (GDK) and Starbucks, in the same regions.

The latest deal was managed by franchise specialists from the corporate finance division of PKF Smith Cooper.

Led by David Crump, the franchise team advised the Tahir Group and project-managed the complete acquisition process.

Tahir added: “The acquisition was a challenging process that I couldn’t have completed without the support and efforts of my team and advisers, PKF Smith Cooper, with whom I have worked on previous acquisitions.

“I contacted them at the outset of this process to once again secure their invaluable input, expert advice and deep sector knowledge.”
