Bonchon acquisition by Minor Food, Serruya Private Equity closes.

Bonchon acquisition by Minor Food, Serruya Private Equity closes. Photo: Bonchon September 2, 2026 Bonchon'sownership has officially changed hands, with Minor Food and Serruya Private Equity completing their acquisition of the Korean fried chicken chain from VIG Partners and Seo & Family. Fast Casual first reported the pending acquisition in August, when the companies announced plans to divide ownership of the brand by geography. The transaction has now closed, with Minor Food owning Bonchon globally outside the Americas and Serruya Private Equity owning the business throughout North, Central and South America. Financial terms were not disclosed. For Bonchon, the deal comes as the brand reaches a series of significant growth milestones. The company has more than 150 U.S. restaurants and 500 locations worldwide across nine countries. Suzie Tsai, CEO of Bonchon, said the new ownership structure will allow the company to strengthen its franchise network and accelerate growth. "Bonchon's success is driven by passionate franchise partners who believe in the brand and its potential," Tsai said in a company press release. "Minor Food and SPE will enhance our franchise network and help us accelerate our growth, bringing Bonchon's iconic flavors and experience to even more guests." Serruya targets Americas growth. Toronto-based Serruya Private Equity plans to invest in Bonchon's existing U.S. platform while pursuing expansion across the Americas. Priority markets include Canada, Mexico and Chile, along with continued growth in existing U.S. markets. The Serruya family has more than three decades of experience investing in and operating consumer and franchise businesses. Its portfolio has included brands such as Yogen Früz, Pinkberry, Cold Stone Creamery, Marble Slab Creamery, Pretzelmaker and Sprinkles Cupcakes. Michael Serruya, chairman of Serruya Private Equity, said Bonchon's franchise model and global growth potential were key attractions. "Bonchon is one of the most compelling global restaurant brands, with a differentiated product, a loyal customer base, significant untapped growth potential and a highly scalable franchise model," Serruya said in the release. The deal also expands a relationship between Serruya and Minor that dates back more than 30 years. Minor Food expands Bonchon ownership. For Bangkok-based Minor Food, the acquisition represents a significant step up from its previous role with Bonchon. Minor Food had been Bonchon's master franchisee in Thailand. It now owns the brand and its operations globally outside the Americas. Minor Food is a wholly owned subsidiary of Minor International and operates 2,843 outlets across 24 countries under brands including The Pizza Company, Swensen's, Dairy Queen, Burger King, Sizzler, Benihana and The Coffee Club. The company said Bonchon adds a high-growth, asset-light and royalty-driven brand to its food-and-beverage portfolio. Korean food goes global. Bonchon's growth comes as Korean food and culture continue to gain traction globally. Founded in Busan, South Korea, in 2002, Bonchon has built its brand around hand-battered, double-fried Korean fried chicken and an emphasis on authentic Korean flavors. The company said its growth has been driven by franchise partners, word-of-mouth and increasing consumer interest in Korean food, entertainment, beauty and lifestyle. The ownership transition gives Bonchon two operators with different geographic strengths - Minor Food across international markets and Serruya in the Americas - as the brand moves into its next phase of expansion. William Blair served as lead financial adviser to Bonchon International, with BDA Partners serving as co-adviser.

SET-listed Minor International Plc (MINT) has announced plans to acquire 100% of Bonchon International Inc and its Korean fried chicken restaurant business.

The exclusive allure of owning the shore

The exclusive allure of owning the shore. 27 Jul 2026, 12:00 am At Anantara Desaru Coast Residences, a rare collection of beachfront villas by Minor International reframes luxury as privacy, space and a life well lived with the shore at your doorstep. The best five-star resorts know how to elevate arrival to a six-star experience. And yes, there is such a thing. It starts the moment you step through the door, in the way the light falls, the way the air moves, the way someone anticipates exactly what you need before you have even thought to ask. It's a sense of calmness and contentment, derived from intuitive service and spaces curated for wellness. And for nearly 50 years, Minor International has been in the business of making that feeling a home. At Minor, we have always focused on being experiential rather than transactional" - Heinecke From a single beachfront resort in Pattaya in 1978, Minor International has grown into one of Asia-Pacific's most celebrated hospitality groups with over 600 hotels across 70 countries, more than 2,700 restaurants and a constellation of hotel brands that include Anantara, NH Collection, Avani, Tivoli and Oaks. Yet for all its scale, the soul of the group remains unchanged: a deep, almost instinctive belief that luxury is not a status, but a given way of living. "At Minor, we have always focused on being experiential rather than transactional," says Bill Heinecke, founder and chairman of Minor International. "We shaped experiences around destination, culture and everyday rituals. Luxury has become closely linked to quality of life - privacy, green spaces, adaptability and the freedom to live in a way that feels personal and restorative." It is this philosophy that gave rise to Minor Residences, the group's ultra-luxury branded real estate arm that translates almost three decades of hotel excellence into private ownership. Each residence in its portfolio is conceived not as a property investment, but as a life well-lived: managed with the attentiveness of a five-star hotel, designed for generations and rooted in the culture and landscape that surround it. Owners enjoy resort-level facilities, bespoke à la carte services and the option of a professionally managed rental programme in this rare balance of indulgence and intelligent investment. Hospitality-centric thinking means we design for a complete lifestyle rather than just a physical structure" - Tamthai "We only commit to projects in strategic, high-growth locations that offer long-term value," says Micah Tamthai, acting CEO and chief operating officer of Minor Lifestyle and Real Estate. "The location must support both lifestyle and investment potential." In practice, finding an address that delivers on all of that is quite rare, but one such location is where the Malay Peninsula meets the sea. Amid the 17km of pristine shoreline at Johor's Desaru Coast stands one of Malaysia's most coveted addresses. Anantara Desaru Coast Residences - the first and only beachfront branded residences in Malaysia - is a collection of just 20 private pool villas, set within the grounds of the renowned Anantara Desaru Coast Resort & Villas. Completed and ready for immediate ownership, the residences offer three- and four-bedroom villas ranging from 288 to 597 sq m, each fully furnished and thoughtfully designed to capture the rhythm of coastal living. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame the South China Sea, expansive sundecks beckon for books and golden tans, and private infinity pools that blur the line between indoor and outdoor spaces. Every detail, from architecture to material palette, is the result of considered choices. "Our buyers prioritise health, wellness and sustainability, so our designs include flexible living spaces that can easily be converted into home offices, spas or gyms, as well as expansive green areas that are central to each development," says Tamthai. "Sustainability is now also a core expectation, so we have prepared the foundation to integrate eco-friendly features like electric vehicle charging, solar panels and rainwater harvesting, while ensuring the structure is ready for future upgrades so properties align with environmental values. Hospitality-centric thinking means we design for a complete lifestyle rather than just a physical structure." Ownership here is not simply about the stunning villas, but waking up to a life already running smoothly around you. Enjoy privileged access to the resort's world-class facilities, including beachfront infinity pools, a fully-equipped watersports centre, and dedicated kids' and teens' clubs, as well as 20% off spa experiences at the award-winning Anantara Spa and a curated selection of restaurants and bars. Personalised services - think private butler assistance and in-residence dining - further enhance the elevated lifestyle. Investors can take advantage of a professionally managed rental programme with a 60:40 revenue share in favour of the owner as an efficient pathway to generate returns while retaining the flexibility to enjoy their residence for personal use. Four-Bedroom Duplex Villa - Living Room Three-Bedroom Beach Front Villa - Living Room Four-Bedroom Duplex Villa - Bedroom Cleverly positioned for both leisure and connectivity, Desaru Coast is just a 105-minute drive or 90-minute ferry ride from Singapore, and within easy reach of Senai International Airport. The destination is also part of the Johor- Singapore Special Economic Zone, a significant long-term value driver for property in the region. Developed by Minor International in partnership with Destination Resorts and Hotels (DRH) - a subsidiary of Malaysia's sovereign wealth fund Khazanah Nasional - Anantara Desaru Coast Residences was crowned winner of the Best Luxury Landed Development at the Asia Property Awards (Malaysia) 2020. Of the original 20 villas, only nine remain available as prescient buyers quickly snapped up the coveted units in anticipation of high demand. After all, beachfront residences of this calibre are rare finds and excellent portfolio additions. "Years from now, I hope residents feel a genuine sense of ease and tranquillity - a noticeable shift in everyday life that feels calmer, more balanced and more intentional," says Heinecke. "Wellness is no longer an amenity, but a defining principle of living that transforms the home into a private sanctuary. Ultimately, their [the residents'] quality of life should be quietly elevated not through status, but through how consistently supported, comfortable and well they feel each day. In that sense, luxury is no longer occasional, but continuous." For details, visit anantaradesaru-residences.com, email [email protected] or contact +60 19 241 2296
