Scorched Smokehouse will open its third branch at SM Center Manila following a successful inauguration of two restaurants in Laong Laan and Las Pinas amid the health crisis.
“Scorched opening comes on the heels of coronavirus pandemic that hit the country for over a year now. The business is running smoothly. That’s why we are on track to open five branches in a period of four years (2019 -2022),” said Lenny Kaw, president of Scorched Smokehouse.
Scorched offers authentic smoke meats cooked tenderly using the hickory wood chips imported from the US. The third branch will open on Aug. 7 this year, said Kaw.
“We help promote inclusive growth by hiring workers from residents in surrounding communities where the restaurant is situated,” Kaw said.
She said the company would put up fourth and fifth branches at SM Grand Central and SM Clark or Pampanga until the first quarter of 2022. “Our group is optimistic that restaurants and other food business are starting to recover from the effects of COVID-19 pandemic. The food industry is starting to bounce back,” Kaw said.
