BUENA PARK, CA - July 15, 2025 - Yoshiharu Global Co. (NASDAQ: YOSH) ("Yoshiharu" or the "Company"), a restaurant operator specializing in authentic Japanese ramen & rolls, today announced that its Board of Directors has approved a Company name change to do business as "Vestand, Inc.", reflecting the evolution of the company from its origins as a restaurant operator into a diversified brand that will include real estate development and digital asset ventures.

"This anticipated rebranding reflects our clear strategic direction to actively pursue real estate investments and digital asset ventures going forward to diversify our revenue and establish a solid foundation for long-term growth. Our proven on-the-ground expertise, real asset-focused investment structure, and a differentiated expansion strategy rooted in Security Token Offering ("STO") and AI-based technologies is quickly enabling our transition into a PropTech company.

"To accelerate our real estate initiatives, earlier this year we signed a strategic Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") with Good Mood Studio, a real estate firm with a proven track record of over 1,400 successful property flips.

The U.S. real estate market continues to be driven by stability and strong demand, with significant long term appreciation potential. Technological advancements including platforms for tokenization, AI-based property analysis, and virtual transactions, is increasing efficiency, access, and liquidity in the real estate market. We look forward to additional announcements in the months ahead as we focus on leveraging these technologies and fuel Vestand's momentum and growth initiatives for our new brand and shareholders," concluded Kim.
