Mama Cass has announced its rebranding and return to the market, offering upgraded facilities, enhanced production systems, refreshed menus and a redesigned customer experience.
In a statement, the 42-year-old brand explained that it is relaunching after a period of “strategic restructuring and operational realignment”, adding that it will offer “a blend of nostalgia with modern efficiency, while preserving its original recipes”.
The company noted that the rebranding includes newly refreshed outlet designs inspired by warmth and heritage, upgraded service processes to improve customer experience, menu refinements built around its most popular recipes, a refreshed visual identity and stronger quality-control systems to support expansion.
Executive Director Abimbola Oladapo said the comeback was driven by an emotional connection with customers built over decades.
“Our return is personal. Families trusted us with their meals for decades. Nigerians celebrated birthdays with us, shared their first jollof dates with us, and found comfort in our plates. This comeback is for them,” Oladapo said.
Mama Cass was founded in 1983 on Allen Avenue, Ikeja. It was a part of the early quick-service restaurant culture and later expanded into bakeries, outdoor catering and industrial catering for corporate institutions. The company built a strong following by serving home-style Nigerian meals such as jollof rice, moi-moi, beans and traditional soups.
The management said the relaunch marked “both continuity and transformation,” stressing that the company had strengthened its operations for long-term growth.
“Our relaunch represents both continuity and transformation. Mama Cass has always stood for care, comfort, and culture. This new chapter honours the legacy of our founder while strengthening the organisation for the future,” the management said.
The company added that despite the modern upgrades, it would continue to prepare meals using the same traditional recipes that defined its brand for over four decades, as it positions itself for a renewed future in Nigeria’s food-service industry.
