HONG KONG, Sept. 28, 2014 /PRNewswire/ — Huy Vietnam Group Limited (“Huy Vietnam” or the “Company”), Vietnam’s largest operator of self-managed, local Vietnamese food restaurants, has secured a US$15.0 million equity financing from institutional investors and family offices from Malaysia, Korea and Hong Kong. This Series B round of funding will be used to support the Company’s network expansion in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi.

Operating since 2007, the Company is Vietnam’s first international, professionally managed restaurant company operating in Vietnam serving traditional Vietnamese food prepared from formulated family-owned recipes.

Mr. KY Huy, co-founder, Chairman and CEO of Huy Vietnam states, “This Series B financing allows us to leverage our market leading position in Ho Chi Minh City and expand to Vietnam’s capital, Hanoi. We believe our multi-restaurant brand strategy fits well with the local Vietnamese market. By providing customers with cuisine choices in central Vietnamese specialty dishes (Mon Hue), southern Vietnamese rice dishes (Com Express) and northern Vietnamese noodle dishes (Pho Ong Hung), we believe that our three restaurant brands will capture significant market share in both Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi.”

Dennis Nguyen, Vice Chairman of Huy Vietnam and Chairman of New Asia Partners, a Minneapolis-based private equity group and one of Huy Vietnam’s shareholders comments, “We are pleased to bring on leading Asian investment firms, AIF Capital Asia IV, L.P. (“AIF Capital”) and Fortress Capital Asset Management (M) Sdn Bhd (“Fortress Capital”), with the close of this Series B round of equity fundraising. I especially look forward to working with AIF Capital on the Huy Vietnam board as they add value through corporate governance and industry specialization and Fortress Capital in the areas of capital markets intelligence and investor relations.”
