Uncle Don’s eyes listing

Growing F&B chain: An Uncle Don’s outlet in Petaling Jaya. The group has 18 outlets in total at the moment and plans to add 15 more next year.

Local food and beverage (F&B) chain Uncle Don’s hopes that a listing exercise, slated for sometime next year, will help fund its expansion plans, which include the establishment of new outlets overseas.

If the exercise materialises, Uncle Don’s will be joining other consumer-driven companies like Loob Holding, which owns bubble tea brand Tealive, home improvement retailer Mr. D.I.Y. and mobile company U Mobile Sdn Bhd in bringing their companies public next year.
