The investors of the coffee chain saw that Vietnam has a high economic growth with government policies favoring businesses.

The expansion in Vietnam is part of the investors’ plan for fostering investment in overseas markets. Vietnam is the 11th largest market of the brand owning more than 3,000 outlets across Asia.

Local insiders has commented that the success of a chain model mainly comes from location, which accounts for the majority of operating costs. Large outlets come at a high cost and is why many foreign brands have had to withdraw from Vietnam.
