Little Sheep Group Limited is a Chinese restaurant company that was founded in 1999 in Baotou, Inner Mongolia. The company specializes in operating hot pot restaurants, condiments, and meat processing.
Little Sheep currently[when?] has over 300 restaurant chains in China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Macau, the United States, Japan, and Canada. In 2007, Little Sheep was named the most popular Chinese hot pot restaurant by the Chinese Restaurant Association. It was subsequently listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in 2008.[1] It became China's first branded catering enterprise listed in Hong Kong.
Little Sheep posted ¥2 billion in revenues in 2010, which accounted for two percent of dining-out receipts in China.[2]
In 2011, Little Sheep was sold to Yum! Brands Inc, a U.S.-based fast-food franchise conglomerate. Yum agreed to buy Little Sheep for $587 million in May 2011 but the deal was delayed for four months by a Chinese Ministry of Commerce antitrust investigation.[3] Little Sheep was delisted from the Hong Kong Exchange in February 2012.[4] In 2016, Yum! Brands spun off their Chinese operations into Yum China, which includes Little Sheep.[5] Happy Lamb was also a similar hot pot brand founded by the original owner of Little Sheep in 2017.
