Mister Donut market activities in China and Japan

Overview

Mister Donut has undertaken expansion and product diversification efforts in the East Asian market. In Shanghai, the brand has returned to China after a seven-year absence, opening a takeout-only location in the Global Harbor shopping complex. Operated via a franchise agreement, this store serves as the first in the East China region, with plans to open a second location by December 2026 and a long-term target of 30 stores by the end of 2029.

In Japan, the brand has introduced seasonal menu items, specifically the ‘Hong Kong-style Plump Shrimp Wonton Noodles’. This product, which features shrimp wontons in a chicken-based broth, was launched in late September to capitalize on social media interest.
