South Korean Burger Chain Lotteria Opens 1st Outlet In Singapore

SEOUL, Feb 11 (Bernama-Yonhap) -- Lotteria, a burger chain operated by Lotte Group affiliate Lotte GRS Co., said Wednesday it has opened its first outlet in Singapore as part of its overseas expansion, Yonhap News Agency reported.

Lotte GRS signed an agreement with Singapore-based food and hospitality company Katrina Group Ltd. to introduce the brand to the city-state, with Katrina Group operating Lotteria outlets there, the company said in a press release.

The first Singapore outlet, located at Jewel Changi Airport, offers a range of so-called K-burger products, including the kimchi bulgogi burger.

"We will continue to seek growth as a global Korean franchise by expanding our overseas operations," a company official said.

Lotte GRS operates about 1,300 Lotteria outlets in South Korea and roughly 330 overseas, including in Vietnam, Myanmar, Laos, Malaysia, Mongolia and the United States.

The company opened its first US outlet in Orange County, California, in August.
