25-years After, Nigerian Fast Food Restaurant, Tantalizers Is No More Tantalizing To See {photos}

Tantalizers, one-time most sought-after fast food restaurant, is struggling to deliver on its name and compete in a Quick Service Restaurant market that’s in a shake-out phase.

From 1997 to early 2000s, Tantalizers was the prominent fast-food chain for every Nigerian, with outlets situated in almost all communities, especially in the South-West. Just like MTN Nigeria, Tantalizers was “everywhere you go.”

It was a home away from home for most Nigerians, regardless of their social classes, as it offered delicacies that left customers with a delicious experience, but 25 years later, the company is gradually winding up, losing the market it once dominated to the likes of Tasty Fried Chicken, The Place, KFC and some other Nigerian-owned fast food restaurants.

The one-time household name is now a fading memory among Nigerians and it’s telling on the company’s outlets.

Within the past few years, Tantalizers has been cutting back on its locations, shutting down outlets in some areas, while Nigerians are deserting some of their operational outlets due to the tumbledown and horrible state they are presently in.

From angle of the provided images, it looks like age is beginning to tell on one-time Nigerians’ leading fast food restaurant.

Here is the dilapidated roof of Tantalizers outlet at Palmgrove, Lagos, and the deteriorating ridge has been like this for almost four months and yet, nothing is done to fix it.

Conquest Online News efforts to reach corporate communication department of Tantalizers through text and calls were futile.
