Specialty Food Retail Chain

This opportunity involves the acquisition of a 100% equity stake in Vietnam’s largest mid-specialty food retailer by store count, operating a network of 158 stores across key metropolitan areas including Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. Founded in 2014, the business has built a nationally recognised retail platform over more than a decade, serving urban consumers seeking quality specialty food products. The company’s scale, brand recognition, and geographic reach represent a significant barrier to entry and a durable competitive position in Vietnam’s fast-evolving modern retail landscape.

The business is supported by fully integrated supply chain infrastructure, including proprietary cold-chain logistics and a HACCP-certified warehouse, ensuring consistent product quality and food safety standards across the network. A proprietary ERP system provides operational control and real-time visibility across stores, enabling disciplined inventory management, purchasing optimisation, and performance monitoring at scale. This infrastructure foundation positions the business for continued network expansion without proportional increases in overhead.

The current shareholder base includes a combination of PE funds and strategic investors, who are seeking to onboard a new partner to drive the company’s next phase of growth. The transaction represents a full equity sale, offering an incoming acquirer complete ownership and control over a proven retail platform with established logistics infrastructure, a loyal consumer base, and significant headroom for store rollout across Vietnam’s underserved tier-2 and tier-3 cities.
