Affected by the epidemic in the past, many industries also faced impacts. If they could not survive, they had to close their doors. There are many artists in the entertainment industry who run side businesses. However, due to various factors last year, many people had no choice but to close their stalls or quit, which is a pity.
1.Selina
A catering brand was established in 2021. However, due to rising raw material prices, rising OEM production costs, and increasingly fierce advertising bidding, it is almost impossible to sell brewed drinks, tea bags, wafers and other products at a cost and food price acceptable to the market. To strike a balance, we can only reluctantly end operations.

2.Girl
In October last year, she announced that she was withdrawing from the hand-drinking business. Because she had different ideas from other shareholders, and she felt that she was not properly respected and could not communicate smoothly. This had been going on for quite some time, so she decided to leave. “I will leave in the future.” I will be more careful in choosing partners who will run the business together. Although I am very reluctant to have such an outcome, I believe that this process has made me stronger and grown faster.”

3. Yan Yalun
In 2022, a hand-operated brand store was opened in Taichung and a branch was opened in Taipei. Unexpectedly, in 2023, the Taipei Da’an branch was first closed, and then permanently closed on November 30. The employee sent a sentimental message: “Thank you for your continued support. Yes, we have to say goodbye”, but also emphasized that the end must be another beginning, “We are not leaving, we are just meeting everyone in a better way.”

In 2021, I invested in the salt crispy chicken brand. The main store is on Linsen North Road and a branch is also opened in the East District. The monthly turnover is nearly one million. Although the business is stable, due to the shortage of manpower, I cannot recruit employees, so I have to give up the store. go out.

5. Shao Ting
In recent years, I have achieved good results in operating e-commerce and hot pot restaurants, but last year I announced my withdrawal without warning. I just hope to have more time to focus on stray animals. “Rescuing cats and dogs by my own ability is one of my biggest original intentions.” After working hard in the past few years, I finally have the stable financial ability to afford such a sudden rescue operation! But this is indeed an area that requires a lot of time investment. After weighing it, I decided to make another change.”
