Fukuoka City-based Plenus, a chain store company selling takeout bento meals, was spun off from Hokahoka-tei one year ago to open and operate the Hotto Motto bento outlets. The company had to give up about 20% of its original outlets as part of the arrangement to go independent, but an aggressive policy of opening new shops has given them a total of nearly 1,000 in Kyushu and Yamaguchi Prefecture, maintaining their revenue. In contrast, the number of shops in the Hokahoka-tei chain has fallen to less than 100.
