Marugame Udon Opens New Location Near Olympic Stadium in Phnom Penh
On August 5, Taica Fine Dining (Cambodia) Co., Ltd., a group company of Taica Corporation based in Tokyo, officially opened the sixth franchise of Marugame Udon in Cambodia, named "MARUGAME UDON Bak Touk." This latest outlet is strategically located close to the Olympic Stadium in Phnom Penh, a bustling area filled with educational institutions, banks, residential complexes, and the Ministry of Tourism.
The new restaurant is set in a vibrant neighborhood that attracts a diverse clientele, including students, faculty staff, and business professionals, especially during the weekdays. The location's proximity to major roads enhances accessibility, promising a steady flow of customers.
Marugame Udon Bak Touk aims to provide high-quality udon noodles at affordable prices, complemented by an extensive selection of tempura options. The self-service style of dining allows for quick service, ensuring that diners can enjoy their meals comfortably and efficiently.
Background and Commitment to Cambodia
Taica Corporation was drawn to Cambodia's vast young workforce and remarkable economic growth potential. In September 2012, the company established a factory in the Phnom Penh Special Economic Zone (PPSEZ) dedicated to manufacturing multifunctional materials, particularly the highly praised "αGEL." Taica believes that contributing to Cambodia’s development will support the employment and livelihoods of local workers.
In response to the significant economic challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, Taica collaborated with Shimizu S-Pulse for a joint project named "CAMBODIA DAY," held from 2021 to 2023. During this period, the J-League team prominently displayed Cambodia's name on their uniforms, marking a historic initiative to promote and support the nation. Additionally, the company has engaged in community support activities by donating futsal courts utilizing their "αGEL" product to schools in Cambodia. This initiative, aimed at promoting health and fostering the healthy growth of youth through soccer, has been executed multiple times, underscoring Taica's commitment to the next generation of Cambodian leaders.
