In 2011, Wahana Artha Group expanded into hospitality business by owning Amaris Hotel Padjajaran which is now one of the best performing hotels in Bogor city. As of now, eight hotels are operating. In 2013, the group also became the country franchise of KyoChon Chicken, the largest fried chicken operator in Korea. Currently, KyoChon has 8 stores and will expand across Indonesia.
These business expansion strategies fit the tagline of “Never Ending Passion” to ride on the huge growth of middle income market potential in Indonesia. With 250 million population, Indonesia is the 4th most dense country in the world and blessed with young productive demographic; 60% is aged 20 to 65 with 27% is below age 25. 74 million middle income class now would become 140 million by 2020. Wahana Artha wants to seize that opportunity by becoming one of the premier retail business groups in Indonesia.
