Tim Ho Wan tests takeaway concept in Taiwan
The casual dining chain plans to double its network in the country.
Tim Ho Wan is looking to pilot a new restaurant concept to target ‘mobile consumers’ in a bid to expand its daypart offerings.
Lee Yeong Sheng, CEO of Tim Ho Wan said the pilot is designed to reach increasingly mobile consumers and generate learnings that can support Tim Ho Wan’s growth in other markets.
In a previous interview by QSR Media, Sheng said the group has been looking into delivery and new dayparts such as breakfast and dinner opportunities to complement its lunchtime strength.
Meanwhile, Tim Ho Wan also plans to double its restaurant network in the country from 16 to 32 by 2030 through its Taiwan franchisee.
“Our four-year growth plan builds on the strength of the brand, the capabilities of our Taiwan franchisee, and the market’s long-term potential,” Sheng said.
Hoyii Life serves as Tim Ho Wan’s exclusive franchisee operator in Taiwan and supports both owned-store development and sub-franchisee expansion. Its expansion capacity will be further strengthened by the entry of Collins Co., Ltd., a Taiwan-listed diversified group with interests in trading, retail, healthcare, and renewable energy, as Hoyii Life’s majority shareholder, providing additional resources to support store growth and new format development.
Founded in Hong Kong in 2009 and known for making high-quality Hong Kong dim sum accessible to more consumers, Tim Ho Wan is part of Jollibee Group, following the completion of the transfer of ownership and management in January 2025.
In its first full year under Jollibee Group, Tim Ho Wan’s Sham Shui Po store also received its 17th consecutive Michelin recognition.
