Chicken Republic
One of Micmakin Nigeria Limited's most established ventures is our Chicken Republic franchises, renowned for serving delectable, high-quality, and soulfully spiced meals. We own the most Chicken Republic stores in Africa, and our number of franchises continues to grow.
Our first location
When High Chief Olayato Aribo was seeking a meaningful way to give back to the community in which he was raised, he recognized that investing in the food and hospitality industry could have a significant, positive impact. Growing up in a place that valued togetherness and good food, he saw the potential to create jobs, improve access to quality meals, and contribute to the local economy. So, when the opportunity arose to open a franchise of the well-known Chicken Republic restaurant, he eagerly seized it, believing it would align with his vision of uplifting the community while providing a popular and affordable dining option for families.
Micmakin’s first Chicken Republic franchise opened on December 25, 2007. The opening was met with overwhelming excitement from the local community, and the restaurant quickly became a favorite spot for both residents and visitors. Encouraged by the success and positive reception of the first location, the decision to expand came naturally. Micmakin opened a second location just a year later, further establishing its footprint in the region.
Our current franchises
Today, Micmakin operates 15 Chicken Republic outlets across Ondo and Ekiti states, with two additional locations set to open by the end of 2024 and plans for two more in 2025. Each of these outlets employs an average of 25 people, creating hundreds of local jobs and contributing to the economic development of the region. The success of these restaurants has not only offered residents a reliable place to enjoy quality meals but has also helped stimulate local economies by supporting suppliers, creating employment opportunities, and boosting tourism in the area.
