Huh? I heard that a mysterious guest came to the recording site for this episode!
Who is the store invited in this episode?
That's right! The store invited in this episode is "Grandpa Kimura" ~ I am very honored to invite Simon, the owner of "Grandpa Kimura", to the show! In this episode, we will share with you the bossās original intention and vision, as well as his business philosophy that is different from traditional wisdom. The questions everyone wants to know and the signature dishes in the store are all waiting for you to explore in Food Story!
The owner Simon has a special liking for Taiwanese food and has never forgotten it because he studied and worked abroad for a long time. Taking advantage of the opportunity of Taiwan's reputation after the epidemic, I came up with the idea of āāsharing the taste of Taiwan in Hong Kong!
In order to promote Taiwanese cuisine, the boss and his partners improved their 70-year-old meatballs and created the brand - Grandpa Kimura. The meatballs not only retain the original taste, but also add the bossās favorite elements, including the Hakka element red glutinous rice filling, Changhuaās unique crispy skin, etc.!
In the past, "Kimura Grandpa" has launched spicy meatballs, but considering that the spiciness may not have reached the definition of spicy and spicy, it was temporarily removed from the shelves ~ "Kimura Grandpa's" chili sauce is handmade and has no added preservatives. , so the shelf life is not long, and it remains to be discussed whether it will be launched for sale in the future! Currently, "Grandpa Kimura" is committed to improving the filling and outer shell of meatballs, and may launch new flavors in the future, so stay tuned ~
In terms of store design, compared to the traditional meatballs that are mostly presented to the public as vendors, the boss hopes to present a warm and comfortable environment in a more unique way ~ After taking into account the professionalism in their respective fields, the LOGO was designed , product photography, in-store decoration, etc. are handled by professional partners. Among them, the Fu Ke store has limited space in the store. After discussions between the boss and the designer, he decided to refer to the Japanese ramen bar style. It is the only semi-open street store among the four branches~
The most important values āāof "Grandpa Kimura" are quality and core partners! The boss is very supportive of everyone putting forward different ideas and opinions for discussion during the process of working together. He also hopes that the original concept can be implemented through core partners and passed on to more full-time and part-time partners and customers ~
"If I had ever thought of giving up, I wouldn't have started a business~"
In fact, the bossās initial target was not the Taiwan market! Although the boss has eight years of entrepreneurial experience in China, in comparison, the boss believes that the Southeast Asian, European and American markets will have more complete regulations for the catering industry, and this has become the bossās market target~ Sometimes young partners are looking for When the boss asks about starting a business, he will analyze the details and share his own experience without hesitationš£ļø
As for whether the store will be expanded to other counties and cities in the future? The boss said that because he is located in Taichung, and the central part of the country is the birthplace of meatballs, his current plans for the future are still focused on the Taichung area. The boss is also considering opening up franchising, and is more inclined to support technology with funds. He hopes that partners will also Become a brand owner without financial pressure!
