SHANGHAI, July 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Yum China Holdings,
Inc. (NYSE: YUMC and HKEX: 9987, "Yum
China" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that KCOFFEE
has opened its 200th store in China[1], following two new store
openings yesterday in Hangzhou East Railway Station and
Hangzhou International
Airport.
KCOFFEE's side-by-side store model, which consists of distinct
KCOFFEE storefronts and dining areas with a warm, inviting café
ambience adjacent to KFC restaurants, has been expanding rapidly
since the beginning of 2024, averaging approximately one new store
opening per day. The model features shared kitchen facilities with
KFC stores, which helps to reduce investment and operating costs
while providing excellent value to customers. By utilizing KFC
equipment, KCOFFEE can also offer unique products like coffee
floats and sparkling coffee without requiring additional investment
in equipment.
To celebrate the opening of its 200th store and the
20th anniversary of KFC's flagship egg tart, KCOFFEE
introduced its latest coffee creation, "Egg Tart Dirty Coffee". The
new drink combines rich, egg tart-flavored dirty coffee with a
delicately crispy edible egg tart pastry cup.
KCOFFEE side-by-side stores are currently located in over 120
cities across 31 provincial level regions in China. Locations include popular tourist
destinations such as Shigatse in Tibet, which opened in April at an
altitude of approximately 3,800 meters, just 150 miles from the
peak of Mount Everest. As KCOFFEE
continues to expand across China, it is
committed to continuing to provide consumers with an exceptional
coffee experience, while building KCOFFEE into an iconic coffee
brand in China.
[1] KCOFFEE side-by-side stores referenced in this
article are considered part of existing KFC stores and are not
counted separately in Yum China's
total store count.
