Maggie & Rose expands to China

Maggie & Rose, which currently has branches in Kensington, Chiswick and Hong Kong is expanding to China. Since China has relaxed its one child policy, nursery schools and clubs for children and families are suddenly very good businesses to be in.

The first of the upmarket family clubs to open in mainland China will be in Hangzhou on 24 September and it will be swiftly followed by new clubs in Hong Kong in November and Singapore in December, with more planned.

Maggie Bolger, the Maggie half of Maggie & Rose talked to me about how her concept – a private club which caters for children and their parents, where the children can be inspired and have fun and parents can also relax and enjoy a meal without having to eat soggy pizza or processed sausages and baked beans in a drafty church hall – has become an international brand.
