Brief Background of the Kerrimo Franchise
Kerrimo was introduced in 1998, when it was marketed with the slogan “The Original Food and Drink in 1” combo; an easier method of eating a variety of snacks: from hot dogs, french fries, and cold drinks.
Apart from your standard french fry flavor, they also come in a various other flavours such as BBQ, cheese, sour cream, and onions. Additionally, you can opt to put hotdogs and chicken nuggets as well, inside the pretty packaging design that all their cups have.
Kerrimo’s name comes from the play on words “carry mo”, which means in English as “to carry”. This motto has found its way to success in two decades, and has spawned many branches; over a hundred nationwide! The ingredients are from rich countries such as Belgium and the United States to guarantee the freshest of ingredients.
Kerrimo has since then been acquired by Arjolan Premier Corporation, and has definitely helped in expanding all throughout the country with food stalls and carts in Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.
