About the brand
NeNe Chicken is a Korean fried chicken franchise founded in 1999 by Hyein Foods, headquartered in Seoul. The chain operates roughly 950 stores in South Korea and about 150 outlets across 12 overseas markets, expanding internationally through master franchise agreements since 2011. In Korea it advertises a no-franchise-fee, no-royalty model, earning revenue through supply margins. Its Australia and New Zealand operations are run by SGX-listed ST Group, which has grown the brand to more than 40 outlets since 2015.
SGX-listed ST Group Food Industries holds AU/NZ master franchise (AU entry 2015, 40+ outlets; NZ debut Auckland Sep 2023)
