Partner in Taiwan
LAKE FOREST, Calif., Feb. 19 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --
Sisters Aiting and Yi Shih Agree to Open All-American Restaurants in Taipei
Aiting Shih's family has been in the Taiwanese real estate business for more than 30 years. Now,
Aiting, Founder and CEO of Sirius International Food and Beverage Group, is applying her family know-
how and intuition to become the first Johnny Rockets franchisee in her home country of Taiwan. With
her sister Yi directing operations for the new restaurants, Aiting plans to open more than twenty of the
authentic all-American eateries within the next ten years. The first 3,000-sq. ft. Taiwanese Johnny
Rockets is planned to be across from Taipei Arena, opening this May. The second restaurant,
scheduled to open in July, is planned for Dream Mall and the third is planned for a location within Taipei
101, currently the second tallest building in the world.
"We are very impressed with Aiting and Yi's business sense, their knowledge of our culture and their
enthusiasm for our brand," stated Steve Devine, Senior Vice President of International Development for
Johnny Rockets. He added, "We are very enthusiastic about the entry of our brand into the Taiwanese
culture and we are confident that the Shih sisters have what it takes to integrate the two cultures
seamlessly."
Stated Aiting Shih, "After exploring several global brands to possibly introduce into the Taiwanese
culture, I am convinced that Johnny Rockets offers the simple, authentically family-focused culture
Taiwanese people will appreciate. We are a society that supports timeless, always-relevant brands and
that enjoys classic American favorites, like hamburgers, shakes and onion rings."
The island of Taiwan lies about 75 miles off the southeastern coast of mainland China. Population of
the island is estimated at just under 23 million people, making it the 15th most densely populated
country in the world.
