Our direct competitors are McDonalds, Burger King, Wimpy, and Steers. Indirect competitors include KFC and other fast food stores.
Our brand is within the industry's top 5 in US.
Our success is sustainable, and competitors won't be able to easily repeat our product.

The opportunity is huge as this a fast growing industry and unexplored in other African countries.
We will succeed by being different as we are a new brand tried and tested in other markets.
Other fast food brands are already reaping benefits - McDonald had grown and Burger King is very popular.
