The well-known fast food Mr. Biggs is having trouble competing in the quick service restaurant business while upholding its motto.
Mr. Biggs was a popular fast food franchise in Nigeria from the late 1970s until the early 2000s, with locations throughout the country, particularly in the Southwest. In Nigeria, Mr. Biggs Restaurant was a popular spot for all types of people. They have a variety of foods to choose from and are known for their delicious food. For the majority of Nigerians, regardless of social status, it offers flavors that make consumers happy, but after 46 years, the business is gradually dying and losing the market it once adored.

Mr. Biggs is famous for his meat pie, which is one of the most sought-after dinners in the nation. He also serves rice and chicken. Both, though, have faced criticism. Both the bland rice and some of the dishes are referred to as “Haw Pie.” Customers made jokes about buying peanuts to compensate for the pie’s absence of expected filling at several Mr. Biggs locations.
What was Mr. Bigg’s problem?
First, they got satisfied with their achievements and saw no need to raise their game. Before Chicken Republic and KFC even arrived on the scene Mr. Bigg’s was already on its way down, failing to adapt and keep up with what was in vogue both in quality of product offer and quality of service.
How did the issue with Mr. Bigg start?
Self-harm: Mr. Bigg created a business model that let him work through a representative. For QSR business owners looking to capitalise on their name to increase market share, the company makes money off of its franchise and brand. In the early years, this strategy aided businesses in breaking new ground and meeting rising demand.
Other firms fought to survive when taking on the fast food chain owned by UAC was viewed as suicide. Although the franchise movement aided Mr. Bigg’s popularity and growth, it was unable to uphold the reputation for excellence that franchise outlets have. Customers search elsewhere since it no longer provides a pleasurable experience.
Growing competition: In contrast to three decades ago, when Mr. Biggs was the only option available to Nigerians, the QSR sector is now saturated, leaving them with an abundance of options. KFC, TFC, The Place, and numerous other neighbourhood fast food restaurants have faced the issue of altering patron taste preferences and replacing Mr. Biggs throughout the years.
Nigerians are aiming for something different, as evidenced by the growing rate of the aforementioned company, yet Mr. Biggs has fallen short of their expectations.
