GEN Restaurant Group, Inc. GENK

GEN Inc. is one of the largest Asian casual dining restaurant concepts by total revenue in the United States. During 2025, we expanded our footprint with partnerships with grocery stores to offer our ready-to-cook meals at over 800 locations, with expected expansion to 1,500 to 2,500 grocery stores in 2026. We offer an extensive menu of traditional Korean and Korean-American food, including high-quality meats, poultry, and seafood, all at a superior value. Founded in 2011 by two Korean immigrants, since the opening of our first restaurant in September 2011 we have grown to 57 company-owned restaurants, as of December 31, 2025, located in California, Arizona, Hawaii, Nevada, Texas, New York, Oregon, North Carolina, Washington, New Jersey, Florida and South Korea. Our restaurants have modern decor, lively Korean pop music playing in the background and embedded grills in the center of each table. We believe we offer our customers a unique dining experience in which guests cook the majority of the food themselves, reducing the need for chefs and servers and providing a similar customer experience across the restaurants. On February 18, 2024, the Company purchased the other 50% of GKBH and other rights and the Company now controls 100% of this equity investment, GKBH restaurant.
