    History
    Marrybrown in Johor Bahru, Malaysia.

    Marrybrown began at a small shoplot 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 had already been dominating the Malaysian fast food markets, having been in the country 10 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.
