Burger King SA has opened its first meat production facility in South Africa, as part of major expansion plan.
The facility, which is located Elsies River, Cape Town, was established with an investment of ZAR50m ($4.72m). It has been set up through a joint venture with Excellent Meat, a family-run meat manufacturer and distributor.
Burger King SA CEO Jaye Sinclair said that partnership was critical to support its national supply chain roll-out.
The plant will produce 700,000 hamburger patties
