US fast casual restaurant operator Romacorp has expanded the Tony Roma’s Malaysia network to Melaka.

It marks the brand’s 11th restaurant in Malaysia opened in partnership with Romacorp’s franchisee, Grand Companions, which opened its first Tony Roma’s in 2006 at Sunway Pyramid in Selangor.

“We’re incredibly proud of the continued success of Tony Roma’s in Malaysia,” said Stephen Judge, president and CEO of Romacorp. “George Ang and the Grand Companions team have built a strong brand, and the continued growth of Tony Roma’s in Malaysia is a testament to their passion for the brand and commitment to creating incredible guest experiences.”

The new Tony Roma’s Malaysia restaurant is located at Mahkota Parade, the city’s premier shopping centre in the heart of Melaka’s historic sites and commercial business centre. The restaurant comprises 4326 sqft, seats nearly 150 guests and has covered outdoor seating area.

The restaurant is near notable historical sites including A’Famosa Fort, St. Paul’s Church, the Stadthuys, and the Melaka Sultanate Palace.
