Yum China is also serving coffee across its restaurants and expanding the dessert category. The company will increase investment to expand presence in the coffee segment as it believes that the beverage has strong demand in China. Yum China is focused on relentless unit growth of restaurants in order to drive incremental sales. It recently acquired a controlling stake in Huang Ji Huang that has more than 640 restaurants, almost all of which are franchise-based. In second-quarter 2020, the company opened 169 new restaurants and remodeled 310. Despite the coronavirus pandemic, the company expects to open 800-850 stores in 2020. Approximately, the company possesses five restaurants per million people in China, which is expected to grow to 15 stores per million. Moreover, with continuous rise in middle-class discretionary spending, growth opportunities in the restaurant base remain viable.
