“It’s our honor to partner BreadTalk Group for the second phase of our international growth plan. We learnt key insights from our collaboration with BreadTalk Group since March and look forward to embarking on this successful journey together in Singapore and Hong Kong,” Wu Pao Chun, founder of Wu Pao Chun Bakery, said.
March 2018 saw BreadTalk Group and WPC first entered a partnership to open the bakery chain in Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen and Guangzhou. Its flagship store will launch in Shanghai on November.
