CHICKEN LICKEN RETRENCHES & SETS TO CLOSE DOWN MAINMALL BRANCH TODAY.

Article By: Diana Motsu

Chicken Licken, the popular fast food fried chicken chain, is closing its Main mall branch today and retrenching workers.

Gabz FM has learned that the closure is due to the outlet not being profitable. Some workers, who requested to remain anonymous for fear of victimization, revealed that they were informed on March 13th about the closure and were given notice from that date until March 31st. However, will be paid for the notice period in April.

Gabz FM also gathered that some workers went on strike after not receiving their March salaries. In response, managers brought in staff from other outlets to replace the striking workers, and HR later told the employees on strike not to return to work.

Efforts to reach the Chicken Licken headquarters were unsuccessful at the time of airing. Gabz Fm will continue to give updates as they develop.
