Galito’s is well on the way to opening their 300th store by 2025. The group is currently on the search for franchisees in all provinces, and particularly our areas of high potential and development.
Our Outlets
Just like our Flame-Grilled Chicken, our outlets come in a variety of 'flavours', including High Street outlets, Food Court/Counter, Casual Dining and our Innovative Galipod.
High Street Outlets
These outlets are typically characterised by being situated in a prime area, where there is heavy foot traffic. Opting for such a spot can boost Galito's franchise visibility, accessibility, and revenue potential via a steady stream of potential customers.
Food Court / Counter
This is a centralised dining area in strategic locations like malls or fuel stations, offering diverse food retailers in one convenient space, creating a bustling & social atmosphere for customers to explore various meal options. It's a cost-effective and high-traffic opportunity for franchisees to reach a broad audience.
Casual Dining
Galito's casual dining concept is centred around creating a lively and comfortable environment that encourages guests to unwind and savour their dining experience. This concept is more prominent in our international markets but does have its place within the South African market when strategically placed.
GaliPod
The innovative container concept targets smaller spaces, outlying areas, & seasonal opportunities.
It’s a compact version of our traditional store, making it adaptable & accessible to a wider audience, even in remote locations. The lower capital expenditure creates an exciting opportunity in challenging economic times.
Expansion Areas
We’re empowering close on 3000 people globally. Inside all our outlets, you’ll find a warm, friendly vibe, and a dining experience that’s casual, conversational, and cool!

For us, it’s the little moments spent together that count & Galito’s has been a part of so many of our special days and occasions. It's always bursting with flavour, succulent, spicy & affordable.

Galito’s makes the most delicious Flame-Grilled Chicken in town, it's our Friday night fave! Their Piri-Piri sauces are fire, they make everything taste a whole lot better, even at home.

Our experience at Galito's was perfect in all ways. It was a fantastic place for my family to eat out as there was something for everyone to enjoy! Our favourite was the Chicken Strips and Rice.

WOW, the friendliest staff I've seen in a long time. The place was super clean and neat and the service was on point. But the best of all, the food was outstanding! I can't wait for my next visit!

5 Stars? Why not 6!? My family and I had the best experience at Galito's. The food was incredible, and the staff were super friendly. My wife is still licking her lips, and the kids are nagging to go back.

Galito’s is the real-est Flame-Grilled Chicken. You can't compete with its authentic taste. Thanks for keeping it Mzansi original. The Piri-Piri livers be lit though. Keep it up there Galito’s.
