Jumbo Group announced a S$10 million investment to build a new headquarters at Tai Seng in Singapore, aiming to support its China-focused expansion and business diversification plans [1, 2, 3]. The new site spans over 90,000 square feet, nearly doubling the space of its previous office [2, 3]. It includes a central kitchen that will increase the group’s production capacity by about 50% [1].
CEO Ang Kiam Meng said the move was "entirely funded by internal reserves" and "necessary to future-proof the business," as operations had begun to outgrow existing facilities [2]. He added, "I’m confident that the group’s bottom line will improve in FY2027 as its investments begin to bear fruit" [3].
Jumbo Group is refocusing its China expansion exclusively on the Shanghai market and closing operations in other Chinese cities [1]. This concentration aligns with the group’s strategy to deepen its foothold in a key urban market.
Locally, Jumbo Group plans to diversify by entering Singapore's institutional catering sector to serve hospitals, hotels, schools, and corporate canteens [1]. It is also developing premium dining brands to cater to the high-end market [1].
The group expects the new headquarters and expanded business lines to support growth over the next 10 to 20 years [1]. The central kitchen within the new HQ is scheduled to begin full operations by June 30, 2026 [1].
In July 2026, Jumbo Group plans to open a new Jumbo Seafood restaurant in Jakarta under direct ownership, marking expansion into Indonesia [1]. By the end of 2027, the group also plans to open three new restaurants in Singapore, possibly located in the west and north regions, replacing a closing outlet on the East Coast [1].
