Investment Rationale

Shikan offers an innovative and differentiating concept compared to its competitors, allowing its clients to buy barbecued chicken in drive-in facilities together with other healthier products aligned with more recent trends in food consumption. Market data indicate a gradual recovery in the restaurant sector with a positive outlook for the short/medium term resulting from economic recovery / consumption capacity and a possible VAT reduction to 13%.

Strategy

Introduce the fast food concept, mainly focusing on white meats and other healthier products to be sold at drive-in facilities, filling a gap in the barbecued chicken market. In addition to the existing restaurant in Famalicão, the company aims to open another five outlets, enabling greater bargaining power with suppliers and structural cost dilution.
