Eat Happy Group Merges with European Operations of Hana Group
Eat Happy Group has finalized its merger with the European operations of Hana Group, creating a new entity called Eat Happy Hana Group. The combined company will operate approximately 5,800 points of sale across Europe and is backed by One Rock Capital Partners through an undisclosed strategic investment. The merger aims to create a pan-European platform for ultra-fresh Asian and convenience food, leveraging the complementary geographic footprints and operational strengths of both companies. Eat Happy brings its network in countries like Germany and France, while Hana has strong presence in markets such as the UK, Spain, Belgium, and Italy. The new group will focus on expanding fresh food offerings through shared innovation across brands including Sushi Gourmet, Yuzu, and Wok Street. The deal marks a full exit for Permira from Hana's European operations while it retains its stake in the U.S. business.
