Hop Hing Group Holdings Limited Hop Hing Group Holdings Limited (0047.HK), an investment holding company founded in 1932 and headquartered in Yuen Long, Hong Kong, primarily operates quick service restaurant chains under the Yoshinoya and Dairy Queen brand names in northern regions of the People's Republic of China, including Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, Liaoning, Heilongjiang, Jilin, and Inner Mongolia; as of late 2020, it managed approximately 580 outlets comprising 390 Yoshinoya stores focused on Japanese beef bowl cuisine, 189 Dairy Queen locations specializing in ice cream and treats, and one additional store, while also engaging in agricultural businesses and provision of management services. The company targets urban consumers in China's growing fast-food market through its master franchise agreements, offering diversified meal options from savory entrees to desserts across its extensive store network. In a major strategic shift, Hop Hing Group Holdings Limited was privatized in early 2022 via a HK$228 million scheme of arrangement, leading to its delisting from the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, with H H Hung Foundation Limited and North China Fast Food Limited acquiring a significant 28.36% stake to take it private. Post-privatization, the group has pivoted toward new growth areas including stainless steel bottle products that drove revenue expansion in 2024 through strategic alliances and production synergies, alongside its ongoing involvement in food and beverage, edible oil refining and sales, real estate investment, venture capital, and import-export of light industrial products. With around 7,600 employees, it maintains operations in the consumer cyclical sector, leveraging brand strength amid competitive pressures in China's quick service restaurant landscape.
