| Japanese gelato company expands to cope with hot demand ( 01/05/2005 ) | |||||||||
The managing director and founder of Kida Garden, Keiji Kida, said, "Two years ago, we decided to set up our base in Hong Kong because we saw the huge consumption power of the city, especially among the younger people. The potential here is unlimited, given the size of the market and the influx of tourists in Hong Kong. The substantial growth of our business indicates that we made the right decision to invest in Hong Kong." Mr Kida said that Kida Garden is committed to use Hong Kong as its home base for long-term business development. The company plans to set up two more outlets and employ 10 more staff to its current total of 30 in Hong Kong. Founded in 2003, Kida Garden offers consumers choices of 54 flavours of premium gelato. The gelato is made of natural ingredients, and is freshly made every day to ensure highest quality and freshness. Mr Kida said, "The consumers in Hong Kong have high standards for the quality of food, and they are very health conscious. This creates a marketplace for our 100% natural gelato made of top quality ingredients. With the consumers' increasing emphasis on healthy life styles, we are confident that we will continue to win the hearts of the customers here." The Associate Director-General of Investment Promotion at Invest Hong Kong, John Rutherford, said Kida Garden's business growth here demonstrates that Hong Kong offers opportunities of all kinds for foreign investors, and that the city's consumers welcome quality products.
