Local news website Pindula reported Wednesday that the KFC restaurant in the southwestern city of Bulawayo posted a notice to customers saying that it was shut until further notice “due to the fact that we are unable to source stock from our suppliers as they require U.S. dollars.”
Local chains Chicken Inn and St. Elmo’s Pizza have suffered a similar fate.
The closures are the latest in a wave of difficulties caused by Zimbabwe’s foreign currency crisis, which has seen the price of basic commodities “spiralling out of control” according to the country’s Financial Gazette.
