Narrative and Case Brief. Burger o' Clock is a well-known local fast-food chain in Pakistan,
specializing in burgers, fries, and shakes. Founded in the early 2000s, the brand has grown
significantly and now has multiple locations across major cities, offering a variety of menu
options that cater to local tastes. Burger o' Clock's mission is "to serve high-quality, affordable,
and delicious fast food that meets the tastes of our customers while offering an exceptional
dining experience." Known for its signature burgers, such as the "Cheese Burst" and "Smoky
Chicken," the restaurant chain also aims to innovate and offer healthier options like grilled
burgers and wraps to appeal to health-conscious customers.
In a move to expand its reach, Burger o' Clock introduced a home delivery service that allowed
them to tap into the growing demand for convenience in the food industry. Additionally, the
company has focused on maintaining affordability by offering combo deals and value menus,
which cater to price-sensitive customers. In response to changing consumer preferences and
the rise of health-conscious trends, Burger o' Clock introduced a new product line, "Fit
Burgers," featuring low-calorie options with fresh ingredients and healthier buns.
Despite its success, Burger o' Clock faces intense competition from both international and local
fast-food chains, including global brands like McDonald's and KFC, as well as smaller regional
competitors. The company must navigate challenges such as fluctuating food prices, supply
chain disruptions, and changing regulations related to food safety and health. Moreover, with
the rise in concerns about environmental sustainability, Burger o' Clock has also made efforts to
reduce its environmental impact by using eco-friendly packaging and sourcing ingredients from
local, sustainable farms.
Required:
Mention the market expansion strategy(ies) used by Burger o' Clock according to Ansoff Matrix.
Analyze environmental forces mentioned in the case. Provide reason for selection or omission
of any force given in the case and justify your answer.
