BUKIT MERTAJAM, MALAYSIA, January 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CCH Holdings Ltd (Nasdaq: CCHH), a renowned specialty hotpot restaurant chain based in Malaysia, has unveiled an ambitious growth strategy for 2026, which includes multiple acquisitions, new business initiatives, and international expansion. This announcement is a significant step for CCH as it aims to expand its footprint both locally and globally.
Planned Acquisitions to Enhance Market Presence
CCH Holdings is set to acquire three restaurant groups situated in Malaysia, significantly broadening its operational portfolio. The planned acquisitions include:
- Three additional outlets of Banbudian Bistro, a chain specializing in Sichuan cuisine.
- Thirteen outlets of Chao Liu Xian Hotpot, known for its Chaoshan-style dishes.
- Four franchised outlets of the Chicken Claypot House chain that were not included in the initial public listing as CCH Holdings on Nasdaq in October 2025.
These acquisitions are slated to close in the first half of 2026, marking an aggressive strategy to strengthen CCH’s market presence.
Expansion into New Markets
As part of its growth strategy, CCH Holdings will also be opening a new Chicken Claypot House restaurant in midtown Manhattan, New York City, in the latter half of 2026. This marks a pivotal move for CCHH as it continues to tap into international markets.
Furthermore, the company plans to establish a factory in Africa to produce instant noodles and sauce for local distribution, which is expected to serve markets in Europe and the U.S. This facility is set to start operations in the second half of 2026.
New Business Ventures Enhancing Offerings
In addition to acquisitions and international expansion, CCH Holdings will introduce a new hotpot restaurant brand, Foong Hotpot & Bistro, anticipated to launch in the first quarter of 2026. Additionally, a bakery shop named 6 Mil Bakery will be opened in Johor Bahru, Malaysia, during the first half of the year. Both ventures are expected to diversify CCH’s product offerings significantly.
Financial Outlook and Statements from Leadership
CCH Holdings intends to fund these strategic investments through its existing cash resources. CCH’s Founder, Chairman, and CEO, Mr. Goh Kok Foong, expressed optimism regarding the company's direction: “We look forward to finalizing each of these transactions.
