Luckin Coffee surpasses 35,000 stores globally

Luckin Coffee has expanded its global store network beyond 35,000 outlets, marking a new milestone for the Chinese beverage giant as it continues to broaden its offerings beyond coffee.

The company said its global store count surpassed 35,000 as of 31 May 2026, supported by growing demand for its expanding portfolio of coffee, tea and fruit-based beverages.

According to Luckin, cumulative sales of its non-coffee beverage range have exceeded RMB20 billion, with 22 products individually surpassing 100 million cups sold.

Among its top-performing products, the 'Coconut latte' has sold more than 2.1 billion cups since launch, while the 'Orange Americano' has surpassed 500 million cups. Its 'Light jasmine milk tea' has recorded sales of more than 400 million cups, while the 'Little butter latte' and 'Active apple kale tea' have sold nearly 300 million and more than 100 million cups respectively.

Luckin said the growth of its non-coffee portfolio has helped the company serve consumers across a wider range of occasions, from work breaks and afternoon tea to social gatherings.

The expansion comes as beverage brands increasingly move beyond their traditional categories in search of new growth opportunities. Luckin said it has invested heavily in supply chain and operational capabilities to support rapid product innovation across multiple beverage segments.

The company has expanded its sourcing network across key markets including Brazil, Ethiopia and Indonesia, as well as China's Yunnan and Guangxi provinces, securing ingredients ranging from coffee beans and coconuts to jasmine flowers and navel oranges.

It has also strengthened its manufacturing footprint through investments in self-operated facilities, including its green coffee bean processing plant in Baoshan, Yunnan, and roasting centres in Qingdao, Kunshan, Pingnan and Xiamen.

According to Luckin, these investments have enabled it to build an integrated value chain spanning ingredient sourcing, processing, product development and digital distribution, providing the foundation for its growing beverage portfolio and expanding retail footprint.

The company added that the combination of a diversified product range, integrated supply chain capabilities and a network of more than 35,000 stores positions it to capture a broader share of China's freshly made beverage market, which is increasingly being shaped by scale, innovation and operational efficiency.

The latest milestone builds on Luckin's earlier efforts to strengthen both its retail footprint and brand credentials. Earlier this year, the company opened its 30,000th store in Shenzhen, using the occasion to unveil its first "origin flagship" store.

Designed to spotlight Luckin's sourcing strategy and premium ambitions, the concept reflected the brand's broader shift from rapid domestic expansion towards deeper brand-building and greater control of its global coffee supply chain.

Beyond China, Luckin has also been leaning into localised marketing efforts across regional markets. In Singapore, the brand partnered with Japanese lifestyle brand OSAMU GOODS for a limited-time campaign inspired by "520", a Chinese internet slang term that phonetically resembles "I love you", alongside the return of its 'Pink blossom latte'.

In Malaysia, Luckin reunited with local fashion label FIZIWOO for a second consecutive Hari Raya collaboration. Building on a partnership launched last year, the "Nikmat dikongsi, Raya dirai" ("Sharing life’s joys, celebrating Raya together") campaign combined coffee and fashion to create a festive brand experience tailored to Malaysian consumers.
