A young-ish Dane had trouble finding a good sandwich in Shanghai, 1999. And so he opened a café - Wagas. The name Wagas came about after a few beers with friends, he simply liked the sound of it. His name is John Christensen. John is actually in the logistics business and has lived in China for 13 years. When he is not doing the logistics thing, you will find him at one of the cafes eating a Wagas sandwich.

A young-ish Australian born New Guinean Chinese embarked on a Shanghai adventure in 1999. She left her Sydney café in an attempt to learn the Chinese language. John met Jackie by chance, and in Chinese that would be loosely described as Yuan fen. Jackie initially joined the company as shop manager in 2001 at the first Wagas located in Citic Square, and then later became John's business partner and of course good friend.

Jackie Yun, together with her Operations Manager, Mike Wang, work closely with their shop managers to take care of the day-to-day operations and also business development.
