Ranges are estimated startup investment from the named public sources. Historical brand data — not an offer to sell a franchise and not a promise of results.

From inquiry to opening

A named five-step process. You always know where you stand.

Profile

Tell us your market, budget and timeline. We qualify every request so brands take our introductions seriously.

Shortlist

You get a realistic shortlist with sourced numbers — not every brand, the right brands for your market.

Introduction

We introduce you directly to the brand's expansion team and translate both ways, Korean and your language.

Negotiation

Term sheets, territory scope, fees, training — we support the negotiation until the agreement is signed.

Opening

We stay involved through training and store opening, and remain your channel back to the brand.

The opportunity

In one generation, Korean food went from unknown to unavoidable.

The demand is already in your city. What's missing is the bridge to the brand — the vetting, the Korean-language negotiation, the introductions. That's the whole of what we do.
