Shanghai, Sept. 28 (Jiji Press)–Japan’s Duskin Co. on Monday opened a Mister Donut outlet in Shanghai, returning to the Chinese market after a hiatus of some seven years. The company withdrew from mainland China in 2019. The new take-away outlet is located in a shopping mall in the city. In addition to regular items, products exclusive for the Shanghai store are available, including banana-flavored doughnuts that are popular among locals. Duskin decided to launch the outlet in anticipation of brisk demand as the market and the environment are ready, a public relations official said. A local company operates the store under a franchise contract, while Duskin will provide necessary know-how. A 44-year-old corporate worker who lined up for an hour said she bought strawberry-flavored doughnuts and that she will eat them with her child. A 28-year-old teacher bought a Pon De Ring doughnut and said she is happy that she can eat Mister Donut’s products again. END [Copyright The Jiji Press, Ltd.]
