Es Teler opens in Malaysia

JAKARTA (JP): Es Teler 77, a local fast food chain
specializing in meatball soup and tropical fruit drinks, will
open a franchise in Penang, Malaysia, in September following the
success of its Singapore venture.

A memorandum of understanding was signed on Aug. 16 by Es
Teler 77 founder Sukyatno Nugroho and Penang franchise-holders
Park Mei Yoke and Slew Swee Kit, the company announced on
Wednesday.

Under the agreement, an outlet will open in the Malaysian
resort island at the end of September, and two more are set to
operate before the end of 2000.

Sukyatno's first foreign franchise in Singapore was honored by
the island-state's environment ministry for cleanliness and
hygiene in July.

Sukyatno said he hoped to open an outlet in Brunei in
November. (02)
