Nando's to open first Australian drive-thru in major city, giving away free chicken
Nando's is set to open its first-ever drive-thru in Australia, with a flagship restaurant in Melbourne's northern suburbs. The store will open in Roxburgh Park in Melbourne's north on Tuesday June 10 at 11am, giving hungry customers the chance to pick up some Peri Peri chicken for lunch without leaving their car. To celebrate the launch of the flagship restaurant and drive-thru, customers will also be able to grab free quarter chicken and chips on the day of the launch – no purchase necessary and while stocks last. Drive-thru restaurants have become a key driver for revenue, making up approximately 60-70 per cent of overall revenue, according to QSR. The study found that 37 per cent of Australian consumers prefer to use the drive-thru method for ordering fast food compared to going in-store. Nando's Australia and New Zealand chief executive officer Amanda Banfield said the drive-thru marked the start of a new chapter for the restaurants, which has plans to expand further across the country. 'We've been privileged to be part of the Australian restaurant industry for 35 years and this marks yet another milestone of how Nando's is evolving,' she said. 'Over the next three years, we're planning to open another 25 Nando's restaurants across Australia and New Zealand, growing our workforce by 1000 people. 'Our goal is to open 70 new restaurants by 2030 – and Drive Thru's like Roxburgh Park are a key part of that growth story.' The new flagship restaurant will feature some of the business' 32,000 pieces of South African artwork, bustling Afro-Luso music, as well as bottomless drinks and the beloved sauce station.

Cops launch fresh bid to solve cold case 30 years after mystery man was murdered and dumped in long grass
With extensive trauma to his face, an unidentified man wandered the streets of a quiet outer-suburban neighbourhood, shoeless, injured and cold. Known only by the number 1238/95, he was seen struggling to stay on his feet before trying to seek assistance by knocking on the door of a home on Sorbonne Drive, in Sunbury, about 40km from Melbourne. His body was found a day later, on May 1, 1995, dumped in long grass at North Point Business Park, an industrial area of Roxburgh Park. The man had suffered stab wounds to his upper body, adding to the severe injuries he was already carrying. He was wearing a navy-blue jumper, a grey Nike T-shirt and shorts. The man was not wearing shoes or jewellery and had no wallet or phone. Almost three decades later, police have turned to high-tech imaging to help them uncover the identity behind the face that has haunted them all these years. 'It is incredibly rare to have these circumstances where we have been unable to identify someone for such a long time,' Detective Sergeant Sol Solomon said. Police have made multiple public pleas to identify the man in the past three decades. One of them led a member of the public to come forward to say they had seen a man who fit the description hours earlier, outside a home in Sorbonne Drive, with a bloody head wound and facial injuries. The resident opened their door to the man before closing it and calling the police. They opened their door again once police were on the way, but the man was gone. 'We believe that he was attacked and assaulted in close proximity to Sorbonne Drive, and it appears that he's made his way to a house to get help,' Det Sgt Solomon said. Police have conducted an exhaustive investigation to identify the man, who was never reported as missing. His fingerprints and dental records have been checked in Australia and internationally, to no avail. 'We have a person who has been murdered and dumped... We have never been able to find out who that person is, and they have a family who would like to know what has happened to their relative. We would also like to identify the people responsible for killing this individual,' Det Sgt Solomon said.
