Japan-based restaurant chain operator Yossix Holdings has formed a corporate venture capital and mergers and acquisitions arm called Yossix Capital with an undisclosed amount of capital.
Founded in 1985, Yossix focuses on the food and beverage and construction sectors, running sushi eateries and izakayas – Japanese pubs – under several brands, and building and designing stores and food catering establishments across its home country.
The group intends to use its experience in the food service and infrastructure industries to enter the child and elderly care space.
The fund will invest in or acquire companies strategic to its core businesses, particularly developers of food technology, business property interior design and retirement home services.
