Snacks and tea will soon become a part of Love, Afare’s product lineup.

“The brand, with its vibrant colours and youthful tone, is a reflection of our enthusiasm to bring our retail portfolio to greater heights, and we look forward to extending our product range to continuously win the hearts of our fans,” said Jumbo CEO and Executive Director Ang Kiam Meng in a press statement.

Jumbo operates seven F&B brands: JUMBO Seafood, Hack It, Ng Ah Sio Bak Kut Teh, Zui Teochew Cuisine, Chao Ting Pao Fan, Kok Kee Wanton Noodle, and Xinyao Hainanese Chicken Rice. It operates 37 F&B outlets in 14 Asian cities.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
