    Juice chain Hui Lau Shan served with winding-up order

    Juice chain Hui Lau Shan has been served with a winding-up order in Hong Kong’s High Court over unpaid rents for one of its mall locations, dating back to October.

    Hong Kong-headquartered Hui Lau Shan, known for its mango platter and glutinous rice balls in mango juice, has 260 stores around Asia, including in the Philippines, Malaysia and Mainland China.

    According to the South China Morning Post, the winding-up petition was filed by Kuen Kee Trading Company and relates to a store in Kowloon which has been vacated.

    A separate legal action was filed the same day over HK$195,000 (US$25,000) in rent arrears for a store in Lam Tin.

    Since 2012, Hui Lau Shan has been pursuing a regional growth program, but the advent of social unrest in Hong Kong mid last year significantly impacted on sales.

    Founded by Hui family, Hui Lau Shan opened its first outlet in Yuen Long in the 1960s. In 2007, Hui Lau Shan was acquired by private equity firm Navis Capital Partners.

    According to the South China Morning Post, Hui Lau Shan has received at least six legal actions since last November alleging unpaid rent at multiple stores.

    Hong Kong dessert shop Hui Lau Shan has opened in the Philippines.

    Hui Lau Shan originated as a Chinese herbal tea vendor in the 1960s before blending carabao mangoes in with its other ingredients in the 90s to create a unique dessert.

    The fresh fruit drinks were well-received and the brand now has more than 260 locations globally.

    The firm’s local partner is Fat Daddy’s Group, well-known for its Smokehouse restaurants.

    “The sweet taste of our own fruit has helped propel the brand’s growth in and outside Asia,” said Fat Daddy’s president Freshnaida Versoza. “It’s about time that we bring it here to the Philippines. It’s also our way of supporting the country’s agribusiness since Hui Lau Shan is estimated to consume one ton of premium carabao mangoes per week for 10 to 15 stores.”

    More Hui Lau Shan branches are planned for other malls in the territory, including SM North Edsa, SM Fairview and SM Mall of Asia.
