In 2023, our family continued to invest in opening a second branch to expand our business."
Similarly, Mr. Vu Dinh Duong, owner of Duong Trang restaurant (Pa Phieng village), has also boldly invested in developing food and beverage services in the commune. Mr. Duong said: "In 2017, my family started the restaurant business.

Currently, the restaurant averages about 100 customers per day; during peak seasons, the number reaches 400-500 customers per day."
With the advantage of being a gateway to international trade and a sound development orientation, trade and services are expected to continue playing a leading role in the economic structure of Dong Dang commune.
