"The Number of 20s and 30s Starting Chicken Restaurants Increased Last Year"

48% of Training Graduates Are in the 2030 Generation
More Than Double Compared to 2014

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Hye-seon] It has been found that the number of people in their 20s and 30s starting chicken restaurants increased last year.

Chicken franchise bhc Chicken announced on the 9th that 48% of those who completed the training course for opening new stores last year were in their 20s and 30s. The basic course training is conducted for franchise owners and actual store operators, and it is a mandatory course that must be completed to open a store.

According to bhc Chicken, the proportion of trainees in their 20s and 30s among all course completers exceeded 40% last year, up from 21% in 2014. Looking separately at those in their 20s and 30s, 30-year-olds accounted for 26% of last year's course completers, slightly ahead of the 20-year-olds who accounted for 22%. In particular, the proportion of people in their 20s increased nearly tenfold over seven years. This is interpreted as the 20s, who had relatively little interest in starting a business until now, rapidly increasing and leading youth entrepreneurship.

This is seen as largely influenced by the social phenomenon of the startup age group spreading to younger generations due to the prolonged recession, and the fact that chicken franchises make it easy to start a business with relatively low capital. In the case of last year, bhc Chicken analyzed that the rise in non-face-to-face consumption due to COVID-19, which led to a significant increase in delivery demand including chicken, also played a part.
