CSC, our first brand established in 1996, is our interpretation of Sichuan cuisine, the most popular Chinese cuisine, on the modern stage of quick service restaurants. As a professional Sichuan chef, Ms. Li Hong (李紅) has a special passion for Sichuan culinary arts. To bring out the best of Sichuan style cooking, we have insisted on preparing food freshly onsite at all of our CSC restaurants with carefully chosen ingredients and providing classic Sichuan cuisine with incredible depth and complexity of flavors combining hot, numbing, sweet, sour, savory and nutty notes. We take special pride in our 26-year endeavor to keep our delicious dishes affordable, building CSC into an everyday dining option for all. To meet the dining needs of a wide range of customers of different ages, CSC places its restaurants in diversified locations and offers a variety of choices throughout the day. With its longstanding commitment to pursuing excellence while charging reasonable prices, CSC has become one of the most beloved Chinese quick service restaurants in the major markets where it is present. According to a consumer survey conducted by Frost & Sullivan, CSC ranked first in terms of top-of-mind brand awareness of Chinese QSR brands in Southwest China. CSC is particularly popular among younger generations. In 2020, it was named the most popular Chinese quick service restaurant among young people by Alipay. As of December 31, 2022, we operated 551 CSC restaurants in China.
