Fast food retail investor Chris Retzos has sold his KFC restaurant in Altona North for $5 million to Asian investors on a record low yield of 3.7 percent.

Bidding for the KFC opened at $3.5 million with four bidders competing for the takeaway premises.

The hammer price at the Burgess Rawson auction bettered the previous $4.14 million record sale of a Melbourne KFC in May this year on a 4.8 percent yield.

The Retzos Group operates more than 40 KFC restaurants in Australia.

It will lease back the Altona North KFC on a new 10-year lease. 

The buyer was a Melbourne-based group of Asian investors, who own other fast-food investments.
