Three Squirrels is an "asset-light company"－no bricks-and-mortar outlets, no investment in growing nuts itself.

Zhou Ting, chief financial officer of the Anhui-based company, attributed the company's success to "a group of right people doing the right thing at the right time".

The next right move, he said, "is going public".
