History

edit

Taking Korean food abroad, CJ Foodville has launched bakeries and restaurants globally. Starting with opening a Tous les Jours store, a bakery chain, in Los Angeles in 2004, CJ has launched the chain also in China and Vietnam, where double-digit sales growth is maintained.[1] The first Tous Les Jours in Hanoi, Vietnam, opened in June 2012,[2] and in December 2012, the 20th and 21st Tous les Jours opened in New Jersey and New York.[3] Also brands of Foodville, VIPS (steakhouse) and A Twosome Place (coffee shope) have opened stores in China[4] and Vietnam as well as other countries in Asia.[1] Bibigo is a Bibimbap (a traditional Korean food) restaurant which CJ planned as a global brand from the beginning, opening in Los Angeles, Beijing and Singapore since 2010. It also opened its first store in London in 2012 during the London Olympics.[1][5]
