Marrybrown


Marrybrown Sdn Bhd is a Malaysian-based halal-certified fast food restaurant chain established in 1981. It was the first local fast food chain to franchise its business in Malaysia with more than 138 restaurants locally. Marrybrown has over 350 international outlets serving fried chicken, burgers, finger food, desserts, and beverages aside from serving Malaysian local dishes such as seafood, rice-based products, noodles and porridge. The Malaysian national rice dish, nasi lemak became the feature list on the menu as 'Nasi Marrybrown'.

History

Marrybrown began at a small shoplot in Wong Ah Fook Street, Johor Bahru in 1983, founded by Chinese couple Dato Lawrence Liew and Datin Nancy Liew. At the time, US-based fast-food chains had already been dominating the Malaysian fast food markets, having been in the country 10 years earlier. This led the couple to invent their own ideas based on Malaysian food-taste, as well to revive Malaysia's first fast food chain especially with the Muslim majority country that are always seeking for halal-Western foods.

International presence of Marrybrown chains

At present, Marrybrown is available in 20 countries, with the majority being based in Asian continent. The company plans to expand in 56 Muslim countries, as well planning to enter European markets. On February 3, 2020 Marrybrown opened its first restaurant in Europe, in the Kista Galleria mall in Stockholm, Sweden.
