History

edit

It was founded in 1998,[2] by Mu Ji.[1] Foreign investment was used to start the company.[3]

In February 2007 the company had locations in Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Hangzhou, and Jinzhou. That month the company opened its first restaurant in Lanzhou.[3]

By March 2007 prices at Origus per person were raised from 39 yuan to 39.99 yuan. Around that time some customers in Beijing reported getting only one fen (one hundredth of a yuan) in change.[4]

As of 2014 it had over 100 restaurants; they were located in larger cities. That year, MUS Roosevelt Capital Partners invested an undisclosed amount into Origus.[1]

It was previously in a building on Beiyuan Road,[6] and on another occasion in Wangjiao Plaza in Wangjing Subdistrict of Chaoyang District.[2]
