The franchise holder of the Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) brand in Indonesia, PT Fastfood Indonesia, has earmarked Rp 300 billion (US$33 million) for capital expenditures to finance the opening of 20 new outlets next year.

Fastfood director Justinus D. Juwono said on Monday in Jakarta that the money would also be used to renovate old outlets and upgrade equipment.

“All of the [money] will come from the company's internal cashflow,” Justinus said, as quoted by tempo.com.

He added that Fastfood was planning to build 20 new outlets in 2012, with Rp 7 billion allocated for each outlet.

“This means that about Rp 140 billion will be allocated to build new outlets,” Justinus said.

The company will renovate 50 outlets, he added.

Fastfood Indonesia operates 403 KFC outlets: 150 in Greater Jakarta, 100 in other cities in Java, 17 in Bali and East and West Nusa Tenggara, 75 in Sumatra, 30 in Sulawesi, 22 in Kalimantan, three in Maluku and six in Papua.
