Sphera Franchise Group, the largest food service group in Romania, continues to develop its restaurant portfolio with the inauguration of the first KFC Drive Thru in Craiova. The new unit, which required an investment of approximately EUR 1 million, is the fifth opened in 2024, demonstrating the company’s dynamism and commitment to sustained growth. KFC’s footprint in Craiova thus expands to four units, consolidating the brand’s presence in this city.<\/p>\n
KFC Promenada Craiova Drive Thru is located in the parking lot of the Promenada Shopping Center, situated at Calea Severinului no. 61, and covers an area of approximately 350 sqm, with 64 indoor seats and 24 seats on the outdoor terrace. The operating schedule is from 08:00 to 23:45 for restaurant service, while the drive-thru line and take-away service are open non-stop.<\/p>\n
The unit is equipped with modern technologies, including digital screens for product presentation, self-order kiosks, and a free-refill system for soft drinks. Additionally, customers have the possibility to order through multiple channels: in the restaurant, through the take-away service, on the dedicated drive-thru line, or via online ordering platforms.<\/p>\n
The opening of the new KFC restaurant in Craiova generates 40 new jobs locally.<\/p>\n
