China Internet Cafe Holdings Group Announces Grand Opening of Two New Cafés in Shenzhen
46 Cafés Now In Operation
SHENZHEN, China, Mar. 08, 2011 — China Internet Café Holdings Group, Inc. ("CICC" or the "Company") (OTB Bulletin Board: CICC), one of the largest owners and chain operators of Internet cafes in Southern China, announced the grand opening of two new internet cafes in Shenzhen, bringing the total number of operating locations to 46, with two under construction and expected to open soon.
In February and March 2011, the Company opened two Internet cafes in Shenzhen, one located at Sanyanghu Society Market and the other located at 1 Shabao Road, Shatang Society, Pingshan office, both in the Pingshan New District of Shenzhen City. Combined, the two locations have a capacity of 420 computers through a total capital investment of $0.86 million. Management expects to initially have 80,000 registered users across both locations with average revenue per computer of $0.70/hour. The café locations were chosen for their close proximity to high population areas with the number of residents totaling over 160,000. Residents consist of locals and migrant workers from nearby factories and business centers including a manufacturing center with over 30,000 employees. These two cafes are expected to
generate approximately $1.2 million during the fiscal year.
“We are proud to have opened our 46th Internet café, further widening our geographic footprint in Shenzhen. On the first day of operations at Pingshan café we had 1,500 new registered members and average utilization rate per computer was 16 hours,” stated Mr. Dishan Guo, Chief Executive Officer of China Internet Cafe. “Having successfully opened 16 Internet cafes in 2010, we are building off this momentum and enhanced capital position to establish new locations, which will strengthen our network and improve our competitive position in the Guangdong market. We currently have two cafes under construction which will open in the next few months. Additionally we plan to augment our growth strategy by targeting
acquisitions in other provinces which possess strong demographic drivers.”
