<\/a><\/a>\nThe acquisition brings an established Asian dining concept into Foodtastic\u2019s portfolio and aligns with the company\u2019s strategy to invest in restaurant brands with clear characteristics and development potential. Founded in Toronto in 2012, Kinton Ramen was among the first Japanese ramen restaurants in the city and has since expanded across Canada and into the United States.<\/p>
\n\u201cWe have been looking to add a strong Asian concept to our portfolio for some time, and Kinton Ramen is exactly the kind of brand we wanted to bring into Foodtastic,\u201d said Peter Mammas, founder and Chief Executive Officer of Foodtastic. \u201cKinton has built a clear position in the Canadian restaurant market, with a loyal following, a strong culinary identity and significant room to grow. We believe Foodtastic\u2019s scale, infrastructure and franchise expertise will help support the brand\u2019s next stage of growth across Canada.\u201d<\/p>
\nKinton Ramen offers Japanese ramen with a menu designed for dine-in, takeout, and delivery. The brand operates 58 locations in five Canadian provinces and one U.S. state, including Ontario, British Columbia, Quebec, Alberta, Manitoba, and New York.<\/p>
\nFollowing the acquisition, Foodtastic will focus on expanding Kinton Ramen in Canada and will use its operating infrastructure to support the brand. There are no plans to change Kinton Ramen\u2019s menu, loyalty program, brand identity, franchisee relationships, or guest experience.<\/p>
\n\u201cKinton Ramen has always been about delivering a memorable and authentic ramen experience to guests, one bowl at a time,\u201d said James Kim, founder of Kinton Ramen. \u201cFoodtastic understands the strength of the brand and the significance of preserving what guests and franchisees already know and value. We are looking forward to working with the Foodtastic team as Kinton enters its next phase of growth.\u201d<\/p>
\nThe acquisition expands Foodtastic\u2019s portfolio of established restaurant brands in Canada. Foodtastic now operates brands across the quick-service, fast-casual, coffee, healthy-eating, casual-dining, and specialty-dining categories.<\/p>
