Executive Summary
The Soup Spoon is a leading soup chain from Singapore since June 2002, a fast food operator that focuses on delivering nutritional soup as an alternative from the more conventional main course offered by other fast food entrants in the market, offering a healthier meal choice for locals. Their first retail outlet was opened in Singapore, at Raffles City, and since then they have expanded and there are currently 20 outlets in Singapore at the moment. In July 2010, they ventured overseas and branched two new outlets in Jakarta, bringing the soup culture to Indonesia populations. The Soup Spoon has plans to further expand their business, locally and globally as there is saturation in the local market. Therefore, it is a great opportunity for The Soup Spoon to venture into Brazil introducing soup as a staple meal, which has various benefits, especially emphasizing and marketing their products to be healthy.
