Scarborough Group expands globally with Hong Kong food and beverage concept

A Yorkshire property developer and investor has announced it has launched a new business in the Far East.

Scarborough Group International (SGI) has launched new food and beverage concept Café Library in Hong Kong.

Situated within New Town Plaza, a shopping mall in the town centre of Sha Tin in Hong Kong, Café Library adds to the group’s Espuma chain of coffee houses and restaurants across Hong Kong and China, which it launched in 2014.

Peter Ko, finance director at SGI’s Hong Kong office, commented: “Café Library is our fourth restaurant in Hong Kong and, while we wanted to grow the Esupma brand, we were also keen to provide a fresh, but complimentary, offering.

“From the food and drinks to the décor and ambience, Café Library is a reflection of how happiness comes from truly enjoying life; something we’ve all become extremely grateful for over the past 18 months.”

“Despite having over seven years’ experience in running multiple successful restaurants, opening a food and beverage outlet in the middle of a Pandemic could be seen as somewhat of a risky move. However, we’ve been open over a week now and the response so far has been absolutely phenomenal.”

Kevin McCabe, Chairman of SGI, added: “I’d like to say a massive thank you and well done to all our colleagues in the Hong Kong office who have put a tremendous amount of effort into ensuring that our latest venture is a resounding success.

“It’s testimony to the strong leadership, dedication and vision of the whole team that we’ve been able to bring a new food and beverage concept to market at the present time.”
