SINGAPORE - In mid-June, when the protests in Hong Kong were in full swing, home-grown coffee and toast chain Ya Kun International opened its second company-owned outlet in Admiralty, a financial district where many protests have taken place.
"We had no choice. We had to open on June 14 because that's when our three-year rental contract kicked off. We didn't expect the protests to drag on for so long," executive chairman Adrin Loi told The Straits Times.
