Cornery - the Popcorn Gallery Announces Master Franchise Agreement for Mainland China

Singapore, Singapore, December 18, 2014 --(PR.com)-- Aramidth International Pte Ltd today announced the signing of a Master Franchise Agreement with Yunnan Wen Market Trading Co. Ltd., a China-based company, for the development of Cornery – the popcorn gallery stores throughout Mainland China.

Pursuant to the Agreement, the Master Franchisee must open at least twenty Cornery – the popcorn gallery stores in the Development Territory over a ten-year period, with twelve required to open within the first three years. The first store opened in Kunming, Yunnan Province, in August 2014.

According to Suyanto Agus, CEO of Aramidth International Pte Ltd, Cornery – the popcorn gallery is the only foreign gourmet popcorn franchise to operate in Mainland China.

"Today China has the greatest franchise market in the world. As China's middle class continues to grow and desire higher quality products, we see huge demand and real opportunity to capitalize on first mover advantages. The first store in Kunming has been such a phenomenal success that we have been receiving many franchise enquiries from Mainland China. We are very pleased and honoured to award the master franchise rights for Mainland China to Yunnan Wen Market Trading Co., Ltd., the operator of the Kunming store. Cornery – the popcorn gallery will have expansive growth and will be in good hands in Mainland China," said Agus.

Cornery – the popcorn gallery is known for its fresh and high quality gourmet popcorns, offered with a choice of more than 22 flavours that were developed to suit the Asian palates. Its signature Butterscotch gourmet popcorn has become Singapore’s favourite popcorn.

Each Cornery – the popcorn gallery franchise location is a micro-manufacturing facility producing fresh gourmet popcorn. The open concept kitchen – see it, hear it, smell it and taste it – provides multi-sensory excitement for customers. Customers are pampered with an uninhibited sampling session before they decide the flavour to buy. Upon confirmation of order, the selected popcorn is packed into Cornery’s purposefully designed packaging. Fitted with a reclosable airtight device, long-lasting freshness and crispness of up to 1 month are made possible even in humid tropical climate.
