Bob Boyce

Bob Boyce is one of a handful of Western business pioneers in China and is widely recognized for having built one of China’s most recognized homegrown Western style hospitality brands. In 1994, Montana native Bob Boyce arrived in Beijing, China, to study Chinese. Even at that time, China was a place with huge potential for adventure and opportunity, though Western food choices were still scarce and hard to come by. In 1999, after several years of studying Chinese and working, Bob set about to fill that void by offering great quality, consistent, and classic Western food and drink. He spent the next 18 years building two distinct Western Food and Beverage brands in the PRC; “blue frog bar and grill” and “KABB Bistro Bar” both of which have become the gold standard for casual Western dining and drinking in China. As of January , 2017 the company he founded, Blue Horizon Hospitality Group, operated 35 restaurants in 10 cities throughout China and employed nearly two thousand team members country wide. In February of 2017 Mr. Boyce completed the final sale of his shares in the business to a European restaurant Group and completely exited from the business. He is now based in Seattle Washington with his Husband Victor. The future is wide open for him.
