Korean Franchise (Chain) Information Company Introduction (English)
Welcome to Franchise Chain Information
(Korea Franchise Info.)
Chain Info. began publishing Korea's first franchise magazine in 1991 and has since introduced American and Japanese franchises and chain theories to Korea, while working to develop domestic franchise headquarters and stabilize franchisees.
Starting in the mid-to-late 90s, we began providing full-scale consulting services to existing mid-sized franchise headquarters such as BBQ, Kimgane Kimbap, and Tous Les Jours, and also helped some overseas brands settle in Korea. Based on this experience, we took the lead in establishing the Korea Franchise Association and the Yonsei University Franchise CEO Course.
Since the 2000s, we have been supporting the overseas expansion of Korean brands in earnest, and have been helping mid-sized Korean brands such as Pizza Maru, Kyochon Chicken, Bonchon, BBQ Boss Chicken, Fun & I, and Ichadol to expand overseas through various channels.
We are maintaining many achievements such as supporting Korean pavilions at various exhibitions, supporting Korean brand market development teams, and supporting overseas buyer invitation events to promote the status of K-FOOD and K-FRANCHISE and matching Korean brand master franchise partners in China, Southeast Asia, and the United States.
In addition, we have recently been playing the role of a professional consulting firm in various franchise consulting sub-fields, such as M&A (mergers and acquisitions), investment attraction, and food tech business linkage support essential for restaurant companies, to ensure the long-term domestic and international development and maintenance of franchise headquarters.
With this experience and sincerity, We are ready to help you.
I hope it will be of great use to help you maintain and develop your business in the long term.
Thank you
