Potato Corner enters 16th overseas market with first Taipei store

Potato Corner has entered its 16th overseas market with the opening of its first store in Taipei, Taiwan, through a partnership between Shakey’s Pizza Asia Ventures Inc. (SPAVI) and the Fujin Tree Group. 

The inaugural Taiwan store, located in the Uni-President Department Store in the Xinyi District, was opened last month. More stores set to be opened this year.

“We are honored to introduce Potato Corner, a beloved global brand, to Taiwan and we look forward to adding more stores by the end of the year. Our goal is for Potato Corner to become the preferred spot for everyday gatherings and joyful moments,” Fujin Tree Group founder Jay Wu said in a statement.

Fujin Tree Group, a lifestyle and food and beverage operator, currently operates 15 brands, including a Michelin-star restaurant within its portfolio of franchises.

“It’s always a proud moment to bring our beloved brand to new international shores. Potato Corner’s debut in Taipei is a milestone not just for our flavored fries, but for our Group vision of WOW-ing more guests around the world,” SPAVI president and chief executive officer Vicente Gregorio said.

Aside from Potato Corner, SPAVI also operates the brands Shakey's, Peri-Peri Charcoal Chicken and Sauce Bar, R&B Milk Tea, and Project Pie.

SPAVI reported an 11% growth in its net income for 2024, as systemwide sales increased by 17% to P21.7 billion. — LA, GMA Integrated News
