Yummi House offers handpicked bird's nest and unprocessed wild honey. The company aims to lift people's quality of life by providing natural and healthy products, according to the Director of Yummi House, Mr Wilson Er.
Mr Er said, "Hong Kong is a world-class city with a huge number of international and Mainland visitors. It is the ideal platform for us to reach global markets and build a trusted international brand, by focusing our retail, wholesale and franchise business in the city. We plan to set up 10 retail chain stores in Hong Kong within five years."
He added, "We are not only selling our natural health products in Hong Kong but also providing in-depth information about our products to local and international customers, ranging from production processes to product classifications, the benefits of the products and ways of enjoying them. We hope to cultivate a good understanding of health products globally through Hong Kong."
Associate Director-General of Investment Promotion Mr Andrew Davis welcomed the opening of Yummi House in Hong Kong and said, "Hong Kong people are health conscious, so they demand high quality health products. In addition, we have a large quantity and high quality of shoppers in the city. It's the ideal place for an overseas retail chain to promote awareness of its brand."
