A NEW fast food outlet, Steak ‘n Chips has opened in Gweru, increasing competition in the fast food sector in the city.

The outlet, which has created employment for 20 people, opened its doors on Saturday and offers Pizza, burgers, chicken and chips combos, shawarma at relatively low prices and also does home deliveries.

The entry of Steak ‘n’ Chips into the market has brought a new refreshing feel to the sector, which has seen a lot of people jostling to sample the company’s food.

The outlet is wholly owned by a local young businessman, Mr Tawedzerwa Mudzvoka who also owns telecommunications accessories and hardware shops.

Mr Mudzvoka said all products being sold in the outlet are local.

“We have taken heed of the buy Zimbabwe call by Government and we are getting all our products locally. Our chicken, potatoes, flour and many other cooking ingredients are produced locally.

“We also accept all forms of payment. We trade in local currency and we do not demand foreign currency like other players do.

“We know the industry has stiff competition but we are up for the challenge,” he said. Mr Mudzvoka said the initiative will also go a long way in creating employment opportunities in Gweru.

“All our employees are from Gweru. We sent them for training. The idea is to create jobs for the youth in the city. We have about 20 employees. We also have a bakery side. Our prices are way below those of other players because we do not import anything,” he said.
