Johor F&B businesses recovering and looking to expand

Time to grow: Eateries such as this one in Johor Baru are experiencing an increase in customer volume.

JOHOR BARU: The resumption of travel between Malaysia and Singapore has given food and beverage operators the confidence to expand their business.

Teo Wei Keat, one of the partners of a restaurant chain selling Hong Kong roasted meats, said there was a significant increase in customer volume when the Malaysian border reopened in April after more than two years of inactivity due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
