über eine Mitteilung von YUM! Brands drauf gestossen:

The business of Little Sheep was founded in Baotou, Inner Mongolia in August 1999. Little Sheep Group Limited(“the Company” or “Little Sheep”) focuses on operating Mongolian—style hot pot chain restaurants as well as developing, processing and sales of seasoning and meat products. Our signature menu is characterized by an aromatic soup base and Mongolian lamb specialties. The soup base is made from a special recipe that is so flavorful that there is no need for sauces, unlike the traditional way of hotpot. Substantially all of our lamb is produced from young lambs of approximately six months of age from two particular species of sheep reared in Inner Mongolia.

Currently, the Company owns and operates one seasoning production facility, two meat processing facilities and one logistics centre and has over 300 restaurants throughout China as well as in Japan, the United States and other overseas markets.

Since its establishment, the Company has placed high importance on quality control and established goodwill among our customers. It is evidenced by the numerous honorary awards received. In 2004, it was designed as a “National Famous Brands” by the State Administration of Industry and Commerce. It was awarded “Top 500 Most Valuable Chinese Brands” by the World Brand Laboratory consecutively in 2005, 2006 and 2007. In 2007, the Company was ranked “Number 1 Food Service Provider Brand of 2007 in the PRC” and one of the “Top 10 Most Influential Brands in the PRC”.

In 2007, the Company cooperated with well—known international investment companies, “3i Group plc” and “PraxCapital Fund I, LP”. With the strategic injection of US$25 million as well as the introduction of systematic operation philosophy and experienced senior management, the Company’s foundation has been further strengthened.

Looking forward, the Company will continue to seek development opportunities overseas, consolidate our domestic business, and drive the famous brand —“Little Sheep” to greater success, with the help of our staff and support from the community.

War vor einiger Zeit an Little Sheep interessiert, ist die chinesische Top-Hotpot-Kette. Jedoch kaempft die Marke auf dem chinesischen Markt aktuell gegen etliche Nachahmer, die teilweise mit dem gleichen Firmenlogo oder selben chinesischen Namen auftreten. Mit Kollegen sind wir frueher oft bei Little Sheep essen gegangen, jetzt moechten meine chin. Kollegen es nicht mehr so oft, da sie bei jedem neuen Little Sheep von einem Fake ausgehen.
