Mr Bean Group Limited

Mr Bean Group Limited is a listed retailer based in Singapore. It sells soya bean-based food and drink products. It was founded in 1995. It currently operates a chain of retail outlets through its managing company, Super Bean International, selling a wide range of food and beverages (which all contain traces of soya bean).

The first Mr Bean stall was located at People's Park Hawker Centre. Having found a machine that could make soya milk quickly and efficiently, they established small kiosks in accessible areas at shopping malls, hospitals, schools and MRT stations. Subsequently, additional stalls were opened. WhToday, Mr Bean has more than 50 local outlets and 5 overseas outlets in Japan, the Philippines, China.

The company’s name, Mr Bean, originated when both founders wanted to differentiate their stall from their competitors. As the founders were selling soya bean drinks and both of them were men, they decided to call their company Mr Bean. When Mr Bean was launched in 1995, their original logo had an ‘oriental’ look.

As of 2008, Mr Bean offered at least 28 products. Its soya drinks range from plain soya milk to variations of soya milk that include chendol soya milk, fruity soya milk and icy mocha soya milk. Mr Bean also produces a wide range of products that use soya beans, such as various flavours of soya milk, biscuits, pancakes and ice cream. The company also diversified to sell Mr Bean merchandise that appealed to the younger consumers. Some of their merchandise includes towels, plush toys, bookmarks and bags. Mr Bean sought to continually improve the quality of their products and invent new products. To do that, they invested in R&D to brainstorm and develop new product ideas, and also organised sample-testing sessions.

Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen

Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen is an American multinational chain of fried chicken fast food restaurants founded in 1972 in New Orleans, Louisiana. Often referred to as Popeyes and sometimes as Popeyes Chicken & Biscuits or Popeyes Famous Fried Chicken & Biscuits, it was acquired by Sandy Springs, Georgia–based AFC Enterprises, originally America's Favorite Chicken Company in 1993. According to a company press release dated June 29, 2007, Popeyes is the second-largest "quick-service chicken restaurant group, measured by number of units", with more than 2,600 restaurants in more than 40 states and the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and 30 countries worldwide including Bahamas, Bahrain, Canada, China, Costa Rica, Cyprus, Republic of Georgia, Germany, Guyana, Honduras, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Iraq, Jamaica, Jordan, Kuwait, Malaysia, Mexico, Panama, Peru, the Philippines, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, South Africa, South Korea, Suriname, Trinidad, Turkey, Vietnam, and United Arab Emirates. About thirty locations are company-owned, the rest franchised. As of 2016, Popeyes has over 2,600 restaurants worldwide according to its website.

Popeyes Mighty Good Fried Chicken was first opened in Arabi, Louisiana, a suburb of New Orleans in St. Bernard Parish, on June 12, 1972, as "Chicken on the Run", owned by Al Copeland to compete against Kentucky Fried Chicken. As the company's official history states, they sold "traditional mild fried chicken [but] business was slow, and the chicken team realized they'd have to sell a spicier alternative to their standard chicken recipe if they wanted to impress flavor-seeking New Orleanians. Copeland started franchising his restaurant in 1976, beginning in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and over the next ten years added approximately 500 outlets. B.P. Newman of Laredo, Texas, acquired various franchises in Texas and surrounding states. Two hundred additional locations were added during a period of slower expansion. By 1990, Copeland Enterprises was in default on $391 million in debts, and in April 1991, the company filed for bankruptcy protection. In October 1992, the court approved a plan by a group of Copeland's creditors that resulted in the creation of America's Favorite Chicken Company, Inc. (AFC) to serve as the new parent company for Popeyes and Church's. AFC went public in 2001 with initial public offering (IPO) of $142,818,479. On December 29, 2004, AFC sold Church's to Arcapita, formerly Crescent Capital Investments, retaining Popeyes.
