S. Korean hamburger chain Mom's Touch opens its first store in U.S.

SEOUL, Jan. 4 (Yonhap) -- South Korean hamburger chain Mom's Touch has opened its first store in the United States, the franchise operator said Thursday, in its latest effort to make inroads into overseas markets.

The 130-square-meter restaurant is located in a food alley in Concord, California, said Haimarrow Food Service Co.

The South Korean burger franchise runs five Mom's Touch stores in Taiwan and one in Vietnam.

The franchise operates more than 1,000 stores in South Korea. Last year, Haimarrow Food Service was listed on South Korea's tech-heavy KOSDAQ market.
