Oporto Holdings Pty Ltd is an Australian fast food restaurant franchise with a Portuguese theme. Oporto specialises in Portuguese style chicken and burgers. It is a owned by parent investment firm PAG Asia Capital, which also owns the Red Rooster and Chicken Treat restaurant chains.

Oporto has more than 200 eat-in or take-away restaurants in Australia and New Zealand. It previously also operated stores throughout China and expanded to Sri Lanka and Vietnam in August 2018. Oporto is also looking to expand its operations into the Middle East; its Dubai store opened in early 2020.

Founding and history

Oporto's first restaurant was founded in 1986 by António Cerqueira, an Australian of Portuguese descent, in North Bondi, New South Wales, Australia, but was originally named Portuguese-Style Bondi Charcoal Chicken. The 'Oporto' name came from Cerqueira's favourite football team, FC Porto. The second location was opened in Maroubra Junction.

The franchise right was sold, but António Cerqueira kept the original store, with the second store becoming a franchise store later. The event that led to the closing of original store (on the hill at Bondi) began after the franchise opened a store in Bondi Junction, with the original owners having exclusive rights to the suburb of Bondi. An agreement was reached whereby the original store closed and a new, larger franchise store was built at the bottom of the hill close to the beach at Bondi.

Oporto first opened a franchise store in 1995[2] and was named the fastest growing franchise in Australia in January 2005 by Business Review Weekly.

In 2007, there were 100 locations in New South Wales, 14 in Queensland, 8 in Victoria, 5 in the Australian Capital Territory, 5 in South Australia, and 6 in New Zealand. Some of these restaurants are called Oporto Express and offer a smaller range of products – most commonly this means they do not offer a breakfast menu.

Oporto opened their first store in the United Kingdom at London's Victoria Station in January 2009, although this store closed on 18 October 2011, and they opened their first restaurant in the United States in Rancho Cucamonga, California, on 25 February 2011.[3] Oporto stores in the United States were all converted to Feisty Chicken Grill in 2013.[4] There are now over 100 stores in operation in Australia and New Zealand. Oporto has three types of Oporto store types: drive-thru, shopping centre, and strip store.

Parent ownership and acquisitions

In July 2007, Quadrant Private Equity and Quick Service Restaurant Holdings now known as Craveable Brands (which owns Red Rooster and Chicken Treat) purchased Oporto.[5]

In June 2011, Archer Capital acquired Quick Service Restaurant Holdings from Quadrant Private Equity for an estimated $450 million (including Red Rooster and Chicken Treat). [6][7]

On 26 March 2012, Oporto ceased trading in China, closing its three outlets.[8]

On 7 April 2013, Oporto's US franchisee closed its three outlets.[4]

In 2013, Oporto opened their first restaurant in Western Australia in South Perth. Oporto has since increased to over 8 stores in the region.

This article is about sexual reproduction. For other uses, see Mating call (disambiguation). A mating call is the auditory signal used by animals to attract mates. It can occur in males or females, but literature is abundantly favored toward researching mating calls in females. In addition, mating calls are often the subject of mate choice, in which the preferences of one gender for a certain type of mating call can drive sexual selection in a species. This can result in sympatric speciation ...

Class of enzymes C-5 sterol desaturase (also known as sterol C-5 desaturase and C5SD) is an enzyme that is highly conserved among eukaryotes and catalyzes the dehydrogenation of a C-5(6) bond in a sterol intermediate compound as a step in the biosynthesis of major sterols. The precise structure of the enzyme's substrate varies by species. For example, the human C-5 sterol desaturase (also known as lathosterol oxidase) oxidizes lathosterol, while its ortholog ERG3 in the yeast Saccharomyces ce...
