The First Texas Chicken in Johor Bahru

Texas Chicken, one of the largest global quick service restaurant brands, has made its way to the southern region of Peninsula Malaysia with the opening of its first restaurant in Johor State. This marks Texas Chicken’s first restaurant starting in Johor Bahru’s City Square Shopping Mall and its 48th restaurant in the country.

Managed by local franchisee Envictus International Holdings Limited (Envictus Group), Texas Chicken is ready to excite the taste palates of Johor Bahru residents alongside visitors from Singapore with its signature menu items and bold flavors.

The Johor Bahru City Square Mall’s Texas Chicken restaurant is only the first planned for the Southern Peninsula, with an opening in Southkey Mid-Valley Megamall being planned for the near future.

“The Johor Bahru City Square is the kind of location every restaurant dreams of,” said Dato’ Jaya Tan, Chairman of Envictus International Holdings. “The new Texas Chicken will be right in the heart of the city, close to corporate offices, local and international colleges, and just minutes from the customs and immigration checkpoint between Malaysia and Singapore.”

Dato’ Kamal Tan, Group Chief Executive Officer for Envictus Group agrees. “There is an active and busy city scene here, filled with people who appreciate great-tasting chicken along with superior service and convenience. We look forward to exceeding their expectations at Texas Chicken.”

Most popular are their Spicy Chicken which is double-marinated and hand-breaded to ensure spicy deliciousness in every bite.

Another popular item is the all-American Honey-Butter Biscuits which are made from scratch and freshly baked all day long.

Other favorites include the juicy, crunchy Chicken Tenders, Mexicana Burger & Wrap, Jalapeno Bombers, Strawberry Shortcake and so much more.

The highlight is the Crunchy Jalapeno Burger and Wrap. It is ‘Nacho’ average burger and wrap.
They’re cheesier, spicier and crunchier!
Experience an explosion of flavours with succulent spicy chicken, crunchy nachos, creamy Jalapeño Bombers, crisp lettuce, melted cheese and Nacho Cheese Sauce in every mouthful!
And of course, the perfect meal would not be complete without fries – drizzled with the finest silky smooth cheese sauce and mayonnaise concoction, topped with a generous sprinkling of spring onions.
Who would’ve thought fast food could be served in such a spectacular manner? Available nationwide for a limited time only.

Envictus Group already operates multiple Texas Chicken restaurants in Malaysia’s Klang Valley, Selangor, Penang, Kedah and Negeri Sembilan regions.

“This was an opportunity that was identified and cultivated by a veteran franchisee,” said Tony Moralejo, Executive Vice President of International Business for Texas Chicken. “Envictus Group has a proven track record of success in Malaysia, and we’re certain we’ll see more of the same in Johor Bahru.”

The restaurant is expected to fit 111 guests at one time with the size of 1,123 square feet.
