Hong-Kong based restaurant chain firm Toridoll Holdings, the majority shareholder of local fast foods joint Teriyaki Japan, has offloaded its stake to its Kenyan partner.
Toridoll Holdings has received the green light from Competition Authority of Kenya (CAK) to sell 90 per cent of its share capital of Toridoll Kenya Limited to Roroma Limited, a Kenyan firm that held the other 10 per cent stake. Roroma also imports and sells printing ink from Japan.
Toridoll Holding’s exit from the local market comes in the wake of heated competition from other fast-food joints that have set up shop in Kenya over the past five years. Teriyaki Japan is mainly known for its grilled chicken and noodles.
The competition watchdog in a gazette notice published on Friday said that the firm made Sh898,520 in 2016 against a target of Sh73,924,991, an indicator that Toridoll Kenya Limited, which started local operations the same year had performed below the investor’s expectations.
