FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Chinatown Center Set to Serve Diverse Clientele & Much Anticipated Kim Son Restaurant Now Opening

Austin, Texas, December 10, 2007 – Central Texas’ Asian population has experienced tremendous growth in the past fifteen years, and Asian businesses have increased their profits over 500 percent.  With this growth comes opportunities for both Asian and non-Asian businesses to serve the community. Non-Asian customers benefit as well by having more chances to explore and share in cultural diversity.

Alex Tan is proud to be a frontrunner in the convergence of cultures with his award-winning, 180,000 square foot shopping center, Chinatown Center.  Anchored by MT Supermarket - the largest Asian market in Central Texas— Chinatown Center Austin is a big draw for shoppers from all backgrounds who are seeking authentic Asian groceries and merchandise.  But there is much more to the shopping experience than Asian groceries.  The center, is quickly moving toward full occupancy and boasts twenty-six amazing retailers, nine of which are places to dine.

Soon, Chinatown Center will add to its already popular draw with the introduction of a brand new full-service banquet facility, Kim Son Restaurant.  Before this venue arrived, those wishing for a traditional Chinese banquet were faced with many obstacles.  Now big party planning—from location to menu—will be a one-stop affair, in a beautiful and pristine setting with ample parking.  

With its excellent location on the northern edges of the city, Chinatown Center is situated perfectly to serve those living in the city as well as those in nearby bedroom communities.

“Just as we met a real need to offer previously hard-to-find Asian food staples and merchandise for the Austin community, now we are preparing to fill another gap,” says Tan.  “With the banquet facility offered by Kim Son Restaurant comes a wonderful opportunity for all families seeking traditional Chinese cuisine and service to celebrate special occasions.”

Chinatown’s new banquet facility is set to open for full-service operation on Monday, December 17, 2007.  They are already taking reservations for banquet parties, and their current facility can seat up to 500 banquet style.
