Marrybrown Sdn Bhd (doing business as Marrybrown) is a Malaysian-based halal-certified fast food restaurant chain established in 1981. It was the first local fast food chain to franchise its business in Malaysia with more than 198 restaurants locally.[1] Marrybrown has over 388 international outlets serving fried chicken, burgers, finger food, desserts, and beverages aside from serving Malaysian local dishes such as seafood, rice-based products, noodles and porridge. The Malaysian national rice dish, nasi lemak became the feature list on the menu as 'Nasi Marrybrown'.[2]
History
Marrybrown began at a small shop lot in Wong Ah Fook Street, Johor Bahru in 1981, founded by Chinese couple Dato Lawrence Liew and Datin Nancy Liew. At the time, US-based fast-food chains dominated the Malaysian fast food markets, having been in the country ten years earlier.[3] This led the couple to invent their own ideas based on Malaysian food-taste, as well to revive Malaysia's first fast-food chain especially with the Muslim majority country that are always seeking for halal-Western foods.

At present, Marrybrown is available in 20 countries, with the majority being based in Asian continent.[4] The company plans to expand in 56 Muslim countries,[5] as well planning to enter European markets.[6] On 3 February 2020, Marrybrown opened its first restaurant in Europe, in the Kista Galleria mall in Stockholm, Sweden.[7]
