Fast food restaurant to open its doors with six-figure funding deal

Pepe’s Piri Piri restaurant is set to open its first venue in Stafford following a six-figure funding package.

Following the success of franchisees Omar and Abu Javed’s first Pepe’s Piri Piri restaurant in Shropshire, the flame-grilled chicken shop will open on Stone Road on April 2, with the HSBC UK funding being used to purchase and fit-out the 2000 sq ft. site

Creating up to 20 jobs, the restaurant will seat up to 28 diners and provide both a casual dining and delivery/ takeaway service.

Omar Javed said: “We’re delighted to be bringing Pepe’s Piri Piri to Stafford with the support of HSBC UK and to be investing in this fantastic town. We’ll be hosting our grand opening on the 2nd of April and there will be some amazing offers available for our first customers, who we can’t wait to meet.”

Molly Jahans, franchise relationship manager at HSBC UK, added: “After the success of Omar and Abu’s recent opening in Shropshire, it’s great to help the business grow across the West Midlands and beyond. The brothers are committed to the Pepe’s Piri Piri brand and the positive impact it can have by creating jobs for the local community.”
