Community engagement played a key role in the new branch’s establishment. Musaabayana acknowledged social media invitations from Chitungwiza residents, leading to the company’s decision to expand there.
Eat n Lick’s rapid growth aligns with its mission to bring affordable meals closer to communities. The company now operates eight branches across the Harare area alone.

With branches in Harare, Mutare, Chegutu, Rusape, Chinhoyi, Kadoma, Kwekwe, and now Chitungwiza, Eat n Lick continues to solidify its reputation as Zimbabwe’s fastest-growing fast-food chain.
Beyond in-store service, the company is expanding its delivery network, further enhancing accessibility and convenience for its growing customer base across Zimbabwe.
