Homegrown bakery chain BreadTalk is now expanding in Thailand to the tune of one or two new outlets a month, its chairman George Quek said on Wednesday.
At this pace, BreadTalk expects to have 30 to 50 stores open in Thailand within the next three years, Mr Quek said, and 80 stores by 2016.
The 80 stores will include another of its brands, Food Republic. The mainboard-listed firm currently has 17 outlets in Thailand across three brands: the BreadTalk bakery, coffee and toast chain Toast Box and Chinese meat dumpling chain Din Tai Fung.
BreadTalk currently has over 400 outlets in 16 countries, across seven brands.
