Francois has spread the deliciousness overseas.
Francois' wish is for Chinese people to be able to enjoy their fresh great-tasting high quality bread so they have expanded their business to China. Francois' original manufacturing and freezing techniques have supported the challenge in China greatly. More than 10 years have passed now, and they have gained high praise and recognition among the people in China. Francois is now aiming to develop more businesses overseas by taking advantage of their "know-how" cultivated in Kyushu.

Introducing our Factories and Businesses
We sell bread and sweets at supermarkets and stores. Our wholesale market is expanding every year. There were about 3,000 stores selling our bread and sweets in Kyushu and Yamaguchi Prefecture as of March, 2014.
We set up our shops in supermarkets so that we can manufacture and sell bread within the store. By utilizing our freezing technique, it makes it possible to offer consumers fresh bread at reasonable prices.
In 2003, we opened a flower shop, "Hanatachibana Garden" in Shingu, Fukuoka. We sell flowers at reasonable prices there as well as from within supermarkets.
