[SINGAPORE] Home-grown heritage coffee shop operator Killiney Group is doubling down on food manufacturing for retail, in a bid to diversify its revenue beyond its outlets and grow through exports.
Though second-generation owner and director Woon Tien Yuan sees room to expand Killiney’s store count in the Republic, he is already preparing for the possibility of the business reaching saturation point.
“Some of the biggest coffee shop chains have 80 to 100 outlets. We may achieve this one day, and then what’s next?” Woon told The Business Times. There are 45 Killiney outlets in Singapore, comprising franchise and company-operated stores.
