Yeung's Lotus Express was developed from the Kelly Yeung's many years of
experience in the full line restaurant industry. His vision was to
offer the quality and service of his full-line restaurants at the price
and speed of quick-service restaurants. The first Yeung's Lotus Express was opened in Miami's Bayside Market Place, overlooking Biscayne Bay.
The grand opening was such a success that Kelly decided to leave the
full-line restaurant business and grow Yeung's Lotus Express. There are
now currently over 40 Yeung's Lotus Express restaurants operating as
company owned, partnership, and franchise restaurants.
Quick-service, made-to-order, hot oriental concept. Stand alone, mall, drive-thru, delivery, school lunch and other non-traditional operations. Low barrier to entry, high return on investment. Domestic and international.
