Luckin Coffee chain overtook Starbucks in China. Now it’s open in the US

The student has become the master

They're comin' for ya, Starbucks.

I don't know this chain, but "Luckin Coffee" looks like Fuckin Coffee from a distance, does this explain their success?

Does it taste like burnt motor oil too?

They mix in the leftover cigarettes

[quote]Luckin Coffee, which was founded in Xiamen, China, in 2017, bills itself as offering high-quality coffee at an affordable price with a “100% cashier-less environment.” Orders are placed via the company’s mobile app or “other third-party platforms,” with stores taking up a smaller footprint of pick-up and “relax” locations.

So I guess this is their competitive advantage.

[quote]Luckin Coffee tried to enter the U.S. market before, filing for an initial public offering in 2019. A year later, it was found that the company’s earnings had been fabricated. The Associated Press reported in 2020 that Luckin had agreed to pay $180 million to settle fraud charges brought by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Bit of background never hurts.

[quote]The company highlighted a customer, Glenn, who reportedly drove 22 hours from Florida to be the first in line.

Chinese stooge.

They release a lot of temporary gimmick items, which seems to work with young people - it fuels the tiktok/insta reel content marketing, because “new items” draw more views for the influencers. You also can’t customize the items much in the app - which simplifies the workflow. It must be so annoying for Starbucks baristas to make those finicky monstrosities all day.

Giving a crooked Chinese company money with an app on our phones? For a cup of coffee?

Ho Lee Fuk!

R8 the benevolent and kind starbucks vs the grotesque and villainous oriental luckin. you queens are ridiculous. sinophobic.

We Chinese, we play joke......
