Fruitas Holdings, Inc. Opens Three New Ling Nam Restaurants

Fruitas Holdings, Inc., a leading operator of multi-format food and beverage establishments, is off to a strong start, having established three new Ling Nam restaurants in three key Metro Manila cities: Quezon City, Caloocan City, and Makati City. This strategic growth demonstrates Fruitas Group's dedication to providing high-quality dining experiences while also strengthening its industry footprint.

The inauguration festivities began on January 3, 2024, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at Ling Nam's newest location in Ziti Center Mall, Caloocan City. This Ling Nam business, located on the Upper Ground Floor of the Ziti Center Mall on 7th Avenue, is open from 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. With a private space for meetings and small gatherings and a seating capacity of 48, the restaurant illustrates Ling Nam's commitment to improving customer experiences.

Ling Nam happily opened its doors in Ever Commonwealth, Quezon City, on January 15, 2024. This branch, located on the ground floor of Calle Bistro on Don Antonio Road, caters to families and customers looking for high-quality dining options in a lively ambiance.

​On January 24, 2024, Ling Nam Noodle Bar opened in Makati City's financial hub at The Grid Co-Living, Yakal corner Lumbayao and Bakawan Streets, San Antonio Village, offering a new dining experience. This sleek and attractive venue promises a new eating experience for Makati's diversified clientele.

Fruitas Group has continued to innovate since its acquisition of Ling Nam, developing new formats for the brand. Fruitas added Ling Nam Express, Ling Nam Noodle Bar, and Ling Nam Fried Siopao to the original Ling Nam format, which has been in place since 1950. Ling Nam Express may be available in major malls such as Robinsons Place Manila, Ayala Malls Cloverleaf, and SM North EDSA Bridgeway. Ling Nam Fried Siopao serves the Original Hong Kong-Style Fried Siopao, which can now be found throughout Metro Manila and Cebu.

​Lester Yu, President and CEO of Fruitas Holdings Inc., expressed his enthusiasm for Ling Nam's expansion: "It is only the beginning of our fruitful expansion in the casual and formal dining space this year. We’re very much excited to bring Ling Nam’s authentic delicacies across the Philippines which our countrymen will surely love." Yu emphasized the company's commitment to customer satisfaction, citing Ling Nam's legacy spanning more than 70 years.

As of February 6, 2024, Ling Nam had 34 establishments nationwide, including 7 Ling Nam since 1950, 3 Ling Nam Express, 1 Ling Nam Noodle Bar, and 23 Ling Nam Fried Siopao locations.
