For years, these Chinese merchants (a father and his son) ran the Foojohn Company on Charoenkrung Soi 31. When they decided to discontinue the business, a group of entrepreneurs swooped in to acquire the classic five-story shophouse the company was located in, preventing the razing of yet another heritage structure. Keeping the name Foojohn, the shophouse has been reincarnated as a retro-style, East-meets-West restaubar.
The first floor is occupied by a restaurant called Foudejoie, while the rooftop is SpareParts Smokehouse.
