France Hopper Transport launched in 2019 as a branch of France Hopper Services, specializing in consulting services for the public transport sector.

Our largest line of business, France Hopper Entertainment Group is comprised of The France Hopper Channel and The France Hopper Network (fhnwrk for short).

Originally our second line of business, The France Hopper Channel launched on YouTube in July of 2007. Over the years, it has seen several name changes and changes in focus.

In 2011, Stephen took up blogging (again) with the launch of their personal blog, The France Hopper Network. The France Hopper Network was originally our third line of business.

In 2013, we launched our fourth line of business, Hopper Books & Media, as an experimental platform with several fulfillment partners to specialize in the sale of traditional and pop-culture goods from Japan. Its fulfillment partners included Powell’s Books, Neowing Corporations, and J-List Holdings.

With demand for services slowing down and the loss of a fulfillment partner, Hopper Books & Media wound down operations in May of 2025.

In 2015, we opened an internal line of business, France Hopper Holdings, to organize and manage a growing portfolio of digital assets.

France Hopper Holdings was dissolved in 2025 through the consolidation of our lines of business in to France Hopper Services, our consulting branch, and France Hopper Entertainment Group, our content creation branch.
