Pride Inn Group of hotels has announced it's plan to expand its footprint in every county in Kenya.

The company announced that so far three game restaurants have already been built as part of the expansion plan.

Speaking during the launch of the Sayari All Day dining restaurant in Westlands, on Friday evening, the Managing Director PrideInn Hotels, Resorts & Camps, Hasnain Noorani said the plan is aimed at creating employment opportunities among the youth and the local communities.

The chain currently has eight hotels spread across Mombasa, Maasai Mara and Nairobi.

Noorani noted "In a span of 13 years, PrideInn has grown from one hotel with 28 rooms and 18 staff members to 8 hotels with 950 rooms, and over 1500 staff members.” 

Adding "“Sayari Restaurant has already made a significant impact by creating employment opportunities that have impacted over 100 households, underscoring the company’s commitment to improving and enriching the livelihoods of Kenyans.”

The launch is also  part of the hotel chain’s growth strategy after rebranding last November.

The Sayari restaurant, which means ‘planet’ and is located at the PrideInn Westlands outlet, also plays into the firm’s long-term energy efficiency strategy.

Noorani revealed that PrideInn is creating open spaces to replace air conditioners, which will significantly reduce the chain’s energy consumption.

"We want to be a company that cares for our environment" he said.
