McDonalds India (West & South) recently opened its first restaurant in the seaport city of Kollam in Kerala. Formerly known as Quilon, the city has historically been open to foreign influences and visitors, giving its residents a willingness to try new things, including new cuisines.

The restaurant opened on Christmas Day at the popular RP Mall in the city. The stand-alone store, spread across a 2700 sq ft area, is located on two floors and has 102-seating. It includes a party area for birthday celebrations. Visitors can also enjoy the ample parking space provided at the Mall, which can accommodate 180 cars and 150 motorbikes.

Though the restaurant is the first in the coastal city of Kollam, it marks the 97th restaurant in the South India region and is the eighth in Kerala.

McDonalds has brought its complete menu to its Kollam customers, who will be served by about 35 locally-employed crew, which adds to customers comfort.

The menu comprises burgers such as the Maharaja Mac, Filet-o-Fish, McChicken, Chicken McGrill, McSpicy Chicken, McAloo Tikki and McEgg Burger, wraps such as the Big Spicy Paneer and Chicken Wraps and variants of Saucy Wrap, and sides such as Chicken Wings and French Fries. A host of hot and cold beverages and desserts are also served.

McDonalds marked the launch by having a special offer: On ordering two McVeggie or McChicken meals, customers could get a third meal free. Children, who arrive in large numbers at McDonalds, will get two toys free on the purchase of a large meal or a bill of Rs 399.

Through the day, customers can enjoy not only the delicious McDonalds food, but a play area for children.

Being a place known for spices as well as fish, both the piri piri spice as well as the fish in the famous fillet-o-fish dish of McDonalds, are being sourced locally in Kollam itself.

We are delighted to open our first restaurant in Kollam, a city that has great opportunities to grow our brand. Our commitment, to the residents of Kollam, is to deliver a modern and exciting restaurant experience, with delicious food and beverage options, said Gerald Dias, Director South Operations, McDonalds.

We offer wholesome, delicious meals, ensuring that our customers get fresh food of good quality as well as at a great price. Our menu has been created using flavourful spices that appeal to Indian palates. Our stringent focus on quality extends all the way from the farm to our restaurants, he added.

For vegetarians, Dias added, We meet the special requirements of vegetarians by strictly segregating vegetarian and non-vegetarian cooking and serving areas in our restaurants. Most of our sauces, including mayonnaise, are vegetarian. Even our Soft Serves are 100 per cent vegetarian, he said.

I’m thrilled to celebrate this moment with our local team and welcome both our new employees as well as our customers together. Kerala, as a state, holds huge potential for growth and we look forward to building our brand and our business responsibly and making a positive impact in the local community, Dias added.

The 25 locals employed by McDonalds Kollam, adds strength to its employee base in Kerala and South India.

Kollam, the fourth most populous city in Kerala, is located 71 kms from the state capital of Thiruvananthapuram and is known for its timber, seafood processing, cashew and coir manufacturing industries. Kollam has in the past been one of the oldest and most important ports on the international spice trade route, and today, its beach is one of the most sought-after for weddings. Its tropical beauty wooed Portuguese, Dutch and English travellers to plant roots here.
