Why NeNe

A brand that already sells itself

The original

Home of Snowing Cheese

NeNe pioneered cheese powder chicken in Korea in the early 2000s. The Snowing series is still the signature customers come back for, in Seoul and in Vancouver alike.

The name

NeNe means Yes Yes

In Korean, “ne ne” is a cheerful yes. It is the brand’s whole philosophy: positive service, generous portions, food that makes people say yes twice.

Proven here

Five years in Canada

NeNe’s first North American store opened on Kingsway in 2021. Today three BC locations serve Metro Vancouver daily, backed by four more stores in Ontario.

The support

Setup, marketing, training

You are not opening alone. The Canada team supports site selection, build out, staff training, and ongoing marketing, with recipes and sauces straight from Korea.
