Eleanor Alinas of the Saipan-based KGI Group International is betting her company s entry in the Guam marketplace can meet and beat the competition.
“This island is blessed with a lot of options as far as Filipino dishes are concerned, Alinas said. But Max’s Restaurant is one of the leading brands in the Philippines. It is not only a Filipino brand, but it is an international brand.”
The company holds the master franchise rights for Max s for Guam and the CNMI. Saipan was chosen for the location for the first shop.
“We wanted to have the bragging rights of having the first Max’s, Alinas said.
