CJ Foodville said on Thursday its 2025 consolidated revenue rose about 12 percent from a year earlier to 1.02 trillion won. Operating profit fell 10 percent to 50.1 billion won. It was the first time since 2018 that CJ Foodville topped 1 trillion won in annual revenue.

The company said revenue grew on the back of domestic dining out and global bakery growth, while operating profit fell due to expanded investment and higher raw material procurement costs in the domestic market. CJ Foodville made investments last year including preparations to start up a plant in the United States and expanded local hiring.

By business, the bakery business that runs the Tous Les Jours brand led overall growth as global performance, led by the United States, improved. Revenue at CJ Foodville's overseas subsidiaries, which have local entities in the United States, Indonesia and Vietnam, rose about 31 percent to 278.2 billion won.

Its U.S. entity posted 194.6 billion won, up about 42 percent from a year earlier. CJ Foodville said it aims to build a local production system by operating the U.S. plant completed late last year and, based on that, accelerate store openings to maintain steady growth.

Tous Les Jours completed a local plant late last year in the Gainesville area of Hall County, Georgia, with annual production capacity of up to 100 million items including frozen dough and cakes. The company said it is ensuring stable supply to U.S. franchise stores, while improving logistics efficiency and easing tariff burdens to strengthen price competitiveness.

CJ Foodville plans to continue expanding stores with the goal of accelerating growth in the North American market by strengthening local specialist staff, infrastructure and branding in the United States.

In Asia, revenue at its Indonesia entity reached 53.7 billion won and its Vietnam entity posted 29.8 billion won, up 10 percent and 18 percent, respectively, from a year earlier. It is also seeing growth in countries it entered through a master franchise model, including Mongolia, Singapore and Malaysia.

Revenue from its domestic dining out business also rose about 12 percent from a year earlier. For Vips, maximising sales during the year-end peak season improved domestic dining out performance. Vips currently operates 35 stores nationwide. CJ Foodville said Vips is strengthening brand loyalty by operating tailored dining spaces including private single rooms and a corporate membership programme.

The company said the number of Vips Mania membership members rose 22 percent from a year earlier, while the number of top-tier Mania First members nearly tripled from 2023, when the tier was first introduced. Vips Friends membership members rose about 33 percent from a year earlier. It also assessed that its casual dining restaurant business, including the Italian bistro brand Olipipé, has gained a foothold in the market.

A CJ Foodville official said the company will continue to seek operating measures for its CDR business that closely reflect the market environment and customer needs. The official said it will provide a differentiated premium dining experience across space, service and menus based on reasonable pricing, and strengthen dining-out culture.
