The Roxburgh Park opening is part of a broader expansion plan, described by Nando’s Australia and New Zealand CEO Amanda Banfield: “Over the next three years [to 2028], we’re planning to open another 25 Nando’s restaurants across Australia and New Zealand, growing our workforce by 1,000 people.
“We’ve been privileged to be part of the Australian restaurant industry for 35 years, and this marks yet another milestone of how Nando’s is evolving.”
Nando’s, which has set a target to establish 70 new restaurants in the Australian and New Zealand market by 2030, was quoted by 7NEWS: “Over the years, Nando’s has run a variety of trial concepts, including pick-up windows. However, this drive-through format is certainly the first of its kind for the brand and market.
“The Roxburgh Park drive-through represents the new generation of experience that Nando’s is bringing to the ANZ market.”
