Apart from expanding presence in Bigmart stores, the company is also opening its two new outlets in Balaju and Jorpati.[break]
“We will open our first outlet in Bigmart´s new store in Jhamsikhel that will come into operation from October,” Bilom Khanal, proprietor of TFHI, said. “Later on, we will open our outlets in Bigmart stores in Kamalpokhari and Lazimpat as well as upcoming Bigmart stores in places like Shantinagar, Kalanki and Balkhu.”
Besides, the company has already started taking orders online through its website (thefreshhouse.com.np).
Khanal said the company is setting up a plant to produce home made sausage, marinated tikka, minced meat for burger, ham, barbeque range and ready to cook meat items. “The plant is under construction in Jorpati. We will start distributing our products within two months,” said Khanal, adding that the company will also produce fish sausage, which will be a new taste for Nepalis.
The Fresh House International was opened in December 2011 with an initial investment of Rs 5 million. The store sells wide range of meat products like chicken, mutton, pork, buff, sea food and other meat products like barbeque, ham, minced meat and ready to eat meat items, among others.
“I worked in Dubai for 12 years as an operation and planning manager of Al Islami that started dealing on meat products based on my idea. As the company did really well, I thought of replicating its success here and opened The Fresh House International,” said Khanal.
The company provides free home delivery for orders in the radius of 10 km from the store, while it takes delivery charge depending on the quantity and distance in places outside the 10 km radius.
Khanal said he also plans to open outlets of vegetables and fruits at Bigmart by purchasing vegetables directly from farmers. “This will discourage middlemen and both the farmers and customers will be benefited,” he added.
