A high in China almost equally matched by a dip in Hong Kong has resulted in a mixed third quarter for Ajisen China Holding’s fast-casual restaurant business.

Same-store sales in Hong Kong fell by 9 per cent for the three months to the end of September, while the growth rate in China had an upswing of 9.7 per cent.

Overall, the group’s business sales saw 6.4 per cent growth compared to the same period a year ago.

Chairman Poon Wai says the figures have not yet been reviewed or audited.
