(NASDAQ: YOSH), a Japanese ramen restaurant operator, has announced its strategic expansion into the U.S. real estate market through partnerships with Good Mood Studio and Wealthrail. The company has signed an MOU with Good Mood Studio, which has completed over 1,400 successful property flips, and plans to invest $2 million for a 10% stake in Wealthrail, a real estate tokenization platform.

The company has already acquired two residential properties through Wealthrail and plans to expand its real estate operations within the year.

The company regained NASDAQ compliance through financing commitments of $3.56 million and conversion of $2.5 million debt to equity.

The company expanded to 15 locations with recent openings in Menifee, CA and San Clemente, with one additional location under development in Ontario. Growth was primarily driven by three new Las Vegas restaurants acquired in April 2024. Despite industry headwinds from input costs and consumer price sensitivity, Yoshiharu maintained strong Average Unit Volume.

The company plans further expansion in Southern California and international markets including Paris, London, and South Korea. New initiatives include implementing kiosks and cooking robots to reduce labor costs.

Yoshiharu Global Co. (NASDAQ: YOSH) has successfully regained compliance with Nasdaq's minimum stockholders' equity requirement under Listing Rule 5550(b)(1).

Following the company's financing commitments and debt restructuring announced on March 20 and March 26, 2025, Nasdaq confirmed on March 27, 2025, that Yoshiharu has met the compliance requirements. As a result, the previously scheduled delisting appeal hearing for April 1, 2025, has been cancelled, and YOSH will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Stock Market.

• Conversion of $700,000 Golden Bridge loan into 280,000 warrants
• Conversion of $700,000 CEO James Chae's loan into 280,000 warrants
