New Locations Situated Amongst Over 23 Million People to Open Between Mid-November and Mid-December
TSXV: JK
VANCOUVER, BC, Oct. 28, 2021 /CNW/ - Just Kitchen Holdings Corp. ("JustKitchen" or the "Company") (TSXV: JK) (OTCQB: JKHCF) (Frankfurt: 68Z), an operator of ghost kitchens specializing in the development of delivery-only food brands, is pleased to announce that it has entered into agreements to secure its next three ghost kitchen locations (the "New Locations") in Taiwan. The New Locations will be located in the Zhongzhen and Zhongshan areas of Taipei City, as well as in the Sanchong area of New Taipei City and are all expected to open between mid-November and mid-December of this year. Once opened, JustKitchen will have a total of 21 ghost kitchens operating in the form of either Hubs or Spokes, as per its unique operating model, across Taiwan and Hong Kong.
One-third of Taiwan's population of over 23 million people reside in Taipei and New Taipei City. The two locations in Taipei City will add to the Company's seven existing Spokes in the area, for a total of nine ghost kitchens serving a prime target customer base between the ages of 20-45. Based on the Company's data, customers in the Zhongzhen and Zhongshan districts tend to incur the highest average spend-per-meal in Taipei City. The Sanchong location will be situated in the third-most populous district of New Taipei City, which represents a new market for JustKitchen as it is outside of its current coverage area. This Spoke will become one of four JustKitchen locations serving customers in New Taipei City.
"Securing these three new locations is an exciting development for JustKitchen as we move closer to achieving our goal of having 22 ghost kitchens in operation by the end of 2021. I am pleased with our team's ability to add Spokes in the heavily populated and demographically optimal areas of Taipei City and New Taipei City," said Jason Chen, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of JustKitchen. "JustKitchen continues to evolve at a rapid pace and our expectations for growth and profitability, both locally and internationally, are increasing on an ongoing basis. With a portfolio of approximately 30 proprietary and partner food brands, the recently announced addition of JKOS to our proprietary technology stack and a strong financial position, JustKitchen is well positioned to keep strengthening its competitive advantages for its shareholders and stakeholders," added Mr. Chen.
