Max Hilton Jenvey, Chief Operating Officer said, “We are delighted to launch Chopstix Noodle Bar with our new partners Hendersons Group, who are passionate to further enhance their food to go offer with the addition of Chopstix. This is a true testament of Henderson’s dedication as a destination for hungry, time crunched customers on the move.”

Chopstix at SPAR Shandon launched with the new brand evolution livery, instore marketing, digital branding, and interiors scheme which was unveiled at the Oxford Street Launch 14th December 2016 and designed by award-winning brand design agency Mystery Ltd. The revitalised branding features updated visuals, brand images and carefully designed digital menu screens that facilitate the ordering process. Mystery also designed a suite of Chopstix anime characters that appear across the interior design scheme and all marketing collateral.
Chopstix’s brand evolution and rapid growth over the past six years is be attributed to their continuous improvement on branding, operations, and technology as well as strong relationships with franchisees like Henderson in the UK and internationally.
