Expansion to Australia[]

In March 2013, Plenus established an Australian subsidiary known as "PLENUS AusT PTY. LTD". The following year in June 2014, Plenus opened one of their chain noodle restaurants "Yayoi" In Sydney. The following year Plenus opened another Yayoi located in the Galeries shopping center in Sydney. On December 8, 2016, Plenus opened a Hotto Motto shop in The Galeries shopping center, the same center as their second Yayoi restaurant. Although the Sydney Menu has far fewer items than that of a Japanese Hotto Motto, they still have their signature dishes. Plenus hopes their establishment in Australia will allow them to expand their brand within Australia, as well as branch out and diversify to more countries.^[4] In September 2019, Hotto Motto's one shop in Australia permanently closed.^[5]
