While Japanese retailers are expanding in Vietnam, their Korean peers appear to be shrinking their presence in the Southeast Asian country amid the fierce competition, which is partially coming from local players.

Expanding fast food outlets place strain on obesity worry 10:00 | 12/05/2021
As international organisations are at pains to warn of an increasing obesity problem in Vietnam, the countryâs fast food industry continues to swell despite mounting losses for some chains and difficulties in attempting to alter local eating norms.
Despite its fast-paced development, Lotteria Vietnam has been operating at a loss. In 2020, the chainâs net losses surpassed $8.97 million, reducing its book value from $24 million at the beginning of the year to a little less than $14 million.
The COVID-19 pandemic was not the main culprit behind the chainâs losses, as it was only a continuation of the VND20 billion ($870,000) losses it suffered between 2017 and 2019.

Lotteria Vietnam has said that it will continue its business expansion in Vietnam amid Korean media reports of its closedown over a net loss of nearly US$9 million.
The company, which is operated by Lotte GRS under South Korea’s Lotte Group, dismissed a media report that it would cease operations in Vietnam, a spokesperson told
Tuoi Tre (Youth) newspaper on Saturday.
There is an inaccurate understanding of the Korean media report, the Lotteria Vietnam spokesperson added.
Lotteria Vietnam is proceeding with its normal business while an expansion is underway.
