Barely five days after LIRS shut down the premises of Debonairs Pizza, the restaurant is set to open a new outlet for business.

The American company sat comfortably atop the pizza market in Nigeria, making it a bad business move for any company venturing into it. But now, competitors can breathe easy, as the “Pizza King” is losing its grip gradually.
