Simbisa expands to Chitungwiza
Chitungwiza residents had less reason to travel to Harare’s CBD after fast-food giant, Simbisa Brands Limited opened a new branch in Chitungwiza at Makoni and reopened Machipisa Complex ahead of the Christmas and Boxing Day holidays.
A new branch was opened in Chitungwiza at Makoni Zuva service station with Chicken Inn and Pizza Inn brands.
The opening of the new complex in Chitungwiza was welcomed with residents saying the move has brought closer the much loved Pizza Inn brand and has also created jobs.
Makoni residents showed great excitement as there was a huge turn-out at the official opening.
Makoni complex has a beautiful sitting area. A few tables were set up as a way of managing social distancing and Covid-19 guidelines.
Simbisa Brands also reopened Machipisa Complex on the same day at Makoni Zuva service station.
Machipisa had closed for a few months for renovations.
The opening of these two complexes comes after the company recently opened Nandos in Victoria Falls.
The Company continues to grow despite the Covid-19 induced challenges.
The newly opened branches have increased the total number of Chicken Inn and Pizza Inn outlets to 70 and 39 countrywide respectively.
Speaking at the official opening in Makoni, Warren Meares, the company managing director, said, “We saw the need to open a new complex in Chitungwiza in order to offer greater convenience to the people of Chitugwiza.
“This is the first Pizza Inn in Chitungwiza. People were travelling to the city centre to buy meals, now we have made it convenient for our customers”.
Meares added:
“We will be opening new shops throughout the country and we will be opening Spur at Sam Levy’s Village”.
