Locations
We’re looking to expand throughout South Africa (both city and outlying markets), namely within the following regions:
- Gauteng
- Mpumalanga
- Limpopo
- Kwa-Zulu Natal
- North West Province
Ideal Store Location
Ideal premises, between 160 m2 to 180 m2, situated in a highly visible location, (preferably a corner site). Easy pedestrian access with a constant high volume of foot traffic is essential, and a separate delivery entrance is preferable. Sufficient parking would be an added benefit. Many of the top performing Galito’s branches are positioned in an emerging market region.
We also offer Container solutions, called GaliPods. This setup allows us to penetrate non-traditional QSR markets, as a more cost-effective solution. Our kitchens are fabricated within the container. More information available upon request.

Galito’s Background & History
The Galito’s story began with the first restaurant opening in Nelspruit, Mpumalanga in 1996. With a powerful combination of great tasting chicken, passionate service and pride, Galito’s quickly became the Lowveld favourite.
After opening several successful restaurants within the region, Galito’s decided to share its unique flavour with the rest of South Africa and in 2003, initiated its brand development and franchising journey. It was at this point that Galito’s franchising efforts took off in earnest, opening to huge acclaim in Gauteng, Kwa-Zulu Natal, Limpopo, and Eastern Cape over the next few years.
In 2006 Galito’s spread its wings into Africa – Kenya, Ghana and Senegal, Zambia and Malawi; then moving further abroad internationally in 2010 to Canada, with United Arab Emirates, India and Malaysia following in 2014.
There are currently 16 trading territories internationally with a number of countries scheduled to open new stores in 2019, and a global store count of over 150.
