Hello everyone, I'm Vicky.
Recently, many longtime customers have messaged me asking,
“Is that shop with the ‘Ska Fried Chicken’ sign still yours?”
Today, I want to clearly explain the full story.
🧨【Ska Brand Statement|From Collaboration to Termination, We Choose to Speak Up】
Earlier this year, we were running our fried chicken shop near Songshan Cultural Park when a regular customer, Ms. Hsu, proposed an investment. She became a friend, and after hearing us share that we had the technique and loyal customers but lacked marketing resources, she suggested a partnership. She later invited her family to Taiwan for a tasting, and together they established a company and signed a contract with us.
We trusted this collaboration and provided photos and products for media coverage, which were used to support their U.S. visa application. When they realized the visa might be difficult to obtain, they decided to first set up a Taiwan branch. Ms. Hsu became the local representative, and they renovated our original shop using our equipment. The lease was officially transferred with our landlord present.
Our shop and equipment were transferred based on the premise of collaboration and employment, as part of our investment contribution.
Throughout the process, we did not receive any buyout fees, nor did we formally settle the value of the equipment.
We believed the salary and partnership terms were fair compensation, but after the lease transfer, their attitude changed drastically. They unilaterally reduced the salary, shifted the business direction, and even carried out an unlawful dismissal.
Since June 9, Eddie Wang (the fried chicken chef) officially joined the Taiwan branch as Executive Chef, with a monthly salary of NT$174,212 and full labor insurance coverage.
However, without any prior agreement, the collaborator Andre proposed reducing the salary to NT$70,000, claiming he would personally contribute NT$30,000 from his own pay “out of consideration.” This action not only violates labor laws but also completely breaks the trust and terms of the original agreement.
Furthermore, we must emphasize again:
The Ska Fried Chicken brand and recipe were never part of the collaboration.
The Ska Fried Chicken sign was a visual artwork we personally created and is protected under copyright law.
After Eddie’s unlawful dismissal, the other party did not settle any equipment or lease-related costs. Worse, they continued to publicly display our “Ska Fried Chicken” round sign without authorization, causing customer confusion and brand misrepresentation—this constitutes infringement.
We have officially issued a legal notice demanding the sign be removed within three days and reserve the right to pursue legal action.
Ska Fried Chicken is a brand we built with our own hands. Every design detail and every drop of sauce carries our heart and effort.
We choose to speak up, to clarify, and to protect what we’ve created.
Thank you all for your continued support.
