Major Fast-Food and Coffee Chains Establish Outlets in Nicosia
What happened
The Nicosia municipality and restaurant operator PHC are expected to sign an agreement regarding the commercial use of the old GSP square. This project involves five premises, with Caffè Nero planned as the largest outlet among the planned establishments in Cyprus. The concession will initially run for 10 years, with extensions possible up to 25 years.

Why it matters
The agreement provides a stable commercial base for the redeveloped site in Nicosia. PHC, which operates Caffè Nero, Burger King, and KFC among other brands, secured the concession after an open tender. The project aims to transform the former stadium into a major destination in Nicosia.
Franchise operations for KFC and Burger King in Cyprus are currently underway, alongside proposals for commercial takeovers and a public referendum on redevelopment.
