Luckin Coffee vs Starbucks: A Luckin Success in
China
There's a new coffee shop chain in China, called
Luckin Coffee, and it's been fascinating to
watch their rise on the local market. I know
from my own observations that the Chinese in the
big cities love their coffee. I'm also aware the
current stats on coffee consumption per nation
says that the average person in China drinks
only 3 coffees per year. However, that is
changing *rapidly*.
A Starbucks on every block
I've been coming to China for more than 20
years, and in the last several years I have been
shocked at how many Starbucks shops there are.
They are always really busy which shocks me,
especially since they charge the Chinese more $
for a coffee than I see in Australia and the
USA. It seems like they're on all four corners
of every block. The popularity of Starbucks here
is incredible, especially coming from Australia
where Starbucks was an out and out failure. In
Australia, Starbucks arrived with a bang, and
then fizzled out – the few stores that remain
are only in the touristy areas, catering to
international visitors who want a taste of the
familiar.
Keep reading to learn about Luckin Coffee,
the new chain taking China by storm.
