Foodpanda, Malaysia’s monopoly food delivery business, has relaunched its operations in Johor Bahru, in the nation’s south.

Foodpanda Malaysia says it is “already a household name” in other major Malaysian cities – Kuala Lumpur, Ipoh, Melaka and Penang.

“We are happy to be back in Johor Bahru. I think this service would add convenience to the residents in Johor Bahru,” said Uffe Jordan, MD of Foodpanda Malaysia.

The relaunched service will start by offering online ordering and delivery of wellknown quick service restaurant brands such as Kenny Rogers Roasters, Nando’s, and Sakae Sushi.

“We will be launching in the city centre and are looking forward to expand our delivery areas soon. We are also working on bringing in more local favorite restaurants in Johor Bahru,” said Uffe.

Rocket Internet owned Foodpanda Group operates in 39 countries on five continents under its own name and the additional brand hellofood.
