Express Food Group (EFG), a subsidiary of Bangkok-based RMA Group, will open its first Thai-based Bar B Q Plaza restaurant brand in Phnom Penh’s Aeon Mall by the end of this month, according to the company’s announcement yesterday. By securing exclusive franchise rights for Bar B Q Plaza from Thai Food Passion Co, the new restaurant will add to the group’s growing portfolio of franchises that include The Pizza Company, Dairy Queen, Costa Coffee, and Krispy Kreme, the CEO of RMA Cambodia Ngorn Saing said. EFG has high hopes for the barbecue restaurant chain, and aims to open 10 branches across the country within five years, Saing added. Bar B Q Plaza already has 113 branches across Thailand, 17 in Malaysia, and two in Indonesia. (Source: Phnom Penh Post)
