Ringer Hut, the restaurant chain that specializes in Nagasaki champon, will close its Fukuoka headquarters by the end of June. The objective is to centralize the main office functions in Tokyo, where they have a second headquarters. The company is shifting its outlet expansion focus to eastern Japan, and they also want to eliminate travel expenses between the two sites. The 30 employees will be transferred to Tokyo and the company plant in Saga Prefecture.
