John Xu, President, Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer of Maison Solutions, stated: "When we first founded Maison Solutions, our goal went beyond running a grocery store chain to compete with market leaders. We aimed to be a solutions provider, offering strategic consulting and technological support to help smaller grocery chains enhance and grow their services. This consulting agreement marks a significant milestone in our mission since our public listing. With our team's diverse and extensive expertise in all areas of grocery store operations, we are excited to support our counterparts on the east coast. This agreement provides a strategic and alternative means of strengthening our balance sheet to fund future expansion plans, which includes further renovation plans for our operating HK Good Fortune stores and exploring additional acquisition targets."
