DALLAS, TX , parent company of the 40-year-old "Dixie Lee" brand
name, with more than 80 franchised Chicken & Seafood
restaurants open, announces the opening of the latest franchised
restaurant in Kiev, Ukraine.
Dave Silvester, Executive Vice President of Dixie Lee Chicken
& Seafood, is preparing to take his Grand Opening team to Kiev,
the capitol of Ukraine, for the opening of the latest international
Dixie Lee franchise, scheduled to open January 15th. "We're very
excited about this restaurant. We've been in the chicken business
for 40 years, and we'll be finally serving the real Chicken Kiev --
in Kiev," he said.
"We have a great Master Franchise owner there, Dr. Charles U.
Iroanya, and we've been planning this for some time, as part of our
international expansion. Kiev is the largest city in Ukraine, with
over two and a half million people. Our location is close to the
city center and next to one of their largest sports stadiums, the
Olimpiysky National Sports Complex," said Silvester.
Kiev will house the 2012 UEFA European Football Championship.
Three group matches, a quarter final and the final are scheduled to
be played at the Olimpiyskyi stadium.
"It took almost a full year to design and acquire permits for
this ambitious upscale restaurant for our location. In fact, we're
already in negotiations for the second location, and there are
three more planned to open in the next three years," Mr. Silvester
added. "We're confident Kiev will love our chicken. As we expand in
the country, we may have to create another entr�e called Chicken
Ukraine, too."
