fast food chain

It operates restaurants in countries such as Thailand, Mongolia, and Japan. The company's name comes from the thought that their food is made the same way a mother would make for her family.
History
Mom's Touch was established in 1997 in Seoul. After that, in order to restructure, CEO Chung Hyun-sik took over Mom's Touch in 2004 on condition that it took on a deficit and spun it off into Haimarrow Food Service. It did not make operating profit from 2004 to 2010. It recorded $2.6 billion (26 billion KRW) in operating profit in 2013 and made its first profit for the first time. On November 5, 2019, Haimarrow Food Service, which runs Mom's Touch, was sold to private equity fund KL & Partners for 7.3 billion won. On January 1, 2018, Mom's Touch opened its first American store in Concord, California.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Mom's Touch” as fast food chain. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as fast food chain. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 22, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q23044856. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2025, 1400, 1997 and 2004.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
