BUENA PARK, CA / ACCESSWIRE / September 5, 2022 / Yoshiharu Global Co. (NASDAQ:YOSH) ("Yoshiharu" or the "Company"), a California-based restaurant operator specializing in authentic Japanese ramen, announced that its board of directors has approved a share repurchase authorization of up to $1,000,000 worth of the Company's common stock.

"As we continue to execute on our long-term growth strategy, our ongoing mission remains centered around driving shareholder value," said James Chae, Yoshiharu's President, CEO and Chairman of the Board. "While we are committed to our expansion strategy and remain on track to be fully operating a total of 13 restaurants by the end of 2023, we believe the Company's shares represent an additional attractive investment opportunity at the prevailing price. The expansion of our restaurant portfolio, coupled with the organic growth stemming from introducing new concepts and enticing seasonal menu items, has provided promising opportunities for further growth that we believe we are well positioned to capitalize on."
