"Yai’s Thai is an important addition to the DayDayCook family, as it expands our presence into key food retailers and helps increase awareness among U.S. consumers of what DDC has to offer to the market. This marks our second acquisition in the U.S. as we grow our Asian convenient meal solutions presence in the market,” said Norma Chu, DDC’s Founder and CEO. “Yai’s Thai and DDC share many important core values – our dedication to natural ingredients, commitment to product excellence, and passion for promoting Asian cooking culture. Founders Leland and Sarah have built an incredible foundation with so much potential to bringing new product innovations to more consumers in the U.S.! I look forward very much to working with the Yai’s Thai team to bring innovative culinary adventures into millions of home kitchens."
