Jollibee to Take Full Ownership of Tim Ho Wan

Jollibee Foods Corporation (JFC), the iconic Filipino fast-food giant, is set to fully acquire Tim Ho Wan, the renowned Hong Kong-based dim sum restaurant. This strategic move not only enhances Jollibee’s international presence but also positions it as a significant player in the growing Chinese cuisine market.

The Deal: A Step Forward in Jollibee’s Global Expansion

JFC recently announced to the Philippine Stock Exchange that its subsidiary, Jollibee Worldwide Pte. Ltd. (JWPL), has entered into a share purchase agreement with Titan Dining Group Ltd., part of Titan Dining LP (Titan Fund). Through this deal, Jollibee will acquire an additional 166.5 million shares in Tim Ho Wan Holdings Pte. Ltd. (TPL), the company behind Tim Ho Wan’s operations.

With only a few final conditions left to be met, this acquisition is set to seamlessly integrate Tim Ho Wan into Jollibee’s portfolio. Since January 2024, Jollibee has already held a 92% stake in Titan Fund, meaning the cash outlay for this transaction is approximately SGD 20.2 million for the remaining 8%.

Tim Ho Wan: A New Star in Jollibee’s Culinary Lineup

Known for its Michelin-starred dim sum, Tim Ho Wan has 80 locations across 11 countries, making it a prestigious addition to Jollibee’s growing empire. Once the acquisition is complete, Tim Ho Wan will become Jollibee’s flagship brand in the Chinese cuisine segment, catering to the increasing global demand for authentic Asian flavors.

The History: Jollibee’s Inspiring Rise

Jollibee’s journey began in 1975 when Dr. Tony Tan Caktiong and his wife Grace started a small ice cream business in Manila. By 1978, they transitioned their shops into a fast-food chain, recognizing the demand for hot meals. Today, Jollibee is an internationally beloved brand, with its roots firmly planted in the hearts of Filipinos and expanding across the globe.

Looking Ahead: A Diverse Portfolio and Global Ambitions

Jollibee’s portfolio extends beyond its flagship brand, encompassing a diverse range of businesses in the Philippines. These include Yoshinoya, Chowking, Red Ribbon, Common Man Coffee Roasters, and Tiong Bahru Bakery.

This year, Jollibee expanded even further with the acquisition of a controlling stake in South Korea’s Compose Coffee, a chain with over 2,700 outlets. Additionally, Jollibee owns The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf in the Philippines, acquired in 2019 for $100 million.

From a local fast-food leader to a global culinary giant, Jollibee continues to shape the future of dining.

ABOUT TIM HO WAN

Tim Ho Wan was started by Chef Mak Kwai Pui, who formerly worked at the prestigious three Michelin-starred Lung King Heen restaurant in Hong Kong’s Four Seasons Hotel, alongside Chef Leung Fai Keung. In 2009, the two chefs joined forces to open their first 20-seater top dim sum restaurant in Mongkok. A year later, the Tim Ho Wan brand showed no signs of slowing down with more branches opening, with each earning accolades for serving quality food at affordable prices.

Staying true to its brand promise, Tim Ho Wan continues to bring delicious, authentic and affordable Hong Kong dim sum to all diners. Today, customers in Singapore need not journey quite as far to enjoy award-winning Hong Kong-style dim sum in a more modern setting. Renowned for its service and ambience, all while retaining the DNA of traditional Hong Kong dim sum, Tim Ho Wan Singapore has become the go-to restaurant for quality dim sum for locals.

Tim Ho Wan currently has 12 restaurants in Singapore and more than 60+ restaurants worldwide.

ABOUT CHEF MAK KWAI PUI

Chef Mak was born and raised in Hong Kong. Family members in the hospitality industry had greatly influenced him to follow in their footsteps. At a tender age of 15, he began learning the intricate culinary art of dim sum. Following his years at various prominent establishments (including three Michelin-starred Lung King Heen restaurant at Four Seasons Hotel, Hong Kong), Chef Mak began the journey of building the one Michelin-starred Tim Ho Wan brand in 2009. A year later, the brand showed no signs of slowing down with more branches opening, each earning accolades for its quality food at affordable prices.

ABOUT CHEF LEUNG FAI KEUNG

Chef Leung co-founded Tim Ho Wan alongside Chef Mak back in March 2009. Both chefs persevered by using only fresh and quality ingredients to prepare their dim sum. The first outlet at Mong Kok was a hole-in-the-wall eatery, which accommodated a small capacity of 20 seats. It quickly won the hearts of the locals with its simple yet irresistible dim sum offerings. This then led to the opening of the second outlet in May 2010.
