Shanghai 91 Looking To Raise Capital In BC

Partea just changed its name to Shanghai 91 (SH 91) to reflect the fact that we are from Shanghai. We started this business to bring the best of Shanghainese food and drink to Canada. If Shanghai is too far to travel to, come to SH 91 for a similar experience.

As you can see from the lineups at our store in Victoria BC, it’s been a massive success. Shanghai 91 is a fast-growing company that will open new storefront locations across Canada and eventually into the USA. Our focus right now is in Langford, UVIC, Nanaimo, and possibly Vancouver soon.

Shanghai 91 expect our second store to open in Victoria around September 2019.

We are looking for investors to put in a minimum of $100,000 into the business. We would provide details in person if you are interested.

The following services are centralized out of head office in Victoria, British Columbia:

-Accounting (book-keeping and taxes)

-Marketing

-Human resources

We are looking for investment because growing through profits takes too long. First to market with a great idea is everything.

The investment helps to offset the initial cost to set up each retail location, which costs include but are not necessarily limited to, marketing, recruiting, equipment, hardware, software, leasing space, office supplies, travel, store build-out, training, coaching, head office support, and legal fees.

With the success of the first Victoria BC store, Shanghai 91 is now looking to open locations across Canada in malls, on busy streets, and in tourist towns. We are looking for access to capital and the right people to come to join us in our growth! Shanghai 91 is putting all of its creative energies into improving its products by continuing to develop innovative and healthier dessert options.

Please let me know all the questions you have.
