# A Legacy of Quality: The Evolution of HokBen and Current Career Opportunities
Since its inception in Jakarta on April 18, 1985, under the management of PT Eka Bogainti, HokBen has transformed from a single storefront in Kebon Kacang into a culinary icon in Indonesia. With decades of dedication to quality Japanese-inspired dining, the brand has consistently expanded its footprint, bringing its unique flavor profile to millions of loyal customers.
## A Journey of Growth and Expansion
The brand's trajectory has been defined by steady and strategic growth. Following its successful debut in Jakarta, the company quickly moved to expand into Bandung, establishing a strong presence across West Java. Today, the West Java market is anchored by 27 branches operated by PT Citra Boga Kumala.
In 2018, the company achieved a major milestone by venturing beyond the island of Java. HokBen officially entered the Sumatran market on October 18, 2018, with the opening of its first branch in Mall Boemi Kedaton, Bandar Lampung. This expansion marked a significant leap, bringing the brand’s total network to 147 locations nationwide. It is important to note that all HokBen locations remain under the full ownership of PT Eka Bogainti, as the company operates without a franchise model to ensure consistent quality control.
