Growth was further driven by expansion strategies focused on opening new outlets and refurbishing existing locations to ext

Street stalls/kiosks saw limited growth in 2025, with independent operators performing better than chains. Growth was supported by new locations, rising sales per outlet, increased use of digital wallets, and higher consumer purchasing power.
