Dikici noted that negotiations to enter Russia, the Middle East and the U.S. are currently underway.

"The world is familiar with Turkish delight and Turkish döner and we want to make the world know better Turkish pide. Considering our success in the overseas market, like China, I believe we will also accomplish our goals with our new brand Usta Pideci," Dikici said.

Besides Burger King, TAB Gıda is also poised to launch Popeyes in China. The company is looking to open 1,500 new Popeyes restaurants over the next 10 years.
