The Worlds Biggest Fast Food Chain............. Coming to America
-
Actually, I have never hear of them before. LOL
I wonder how they will do?
The scarlet facade is hard to miss. Months after surpassing McDonald’s as the biggest food chain in the world, Mixue arrived in the United States in December, with one of three locations landing between the drab exteriors and grubby sidewalks of Manhattan’s Herald Square.
and
In China, the chain, founded in 1997, is ubiquitous for its ultracheap vanilla cone, fruity drinks and bubble teas — prices tempered, in part, by how the company sells the raw materials and equipment to its franchisees. Its appearance in Manhattan (and Los Angeles) follows in the example of other beverage-focused chains, such as Luckin Coffee and Chagee, which have ventured stateside as low-cost alternatives to Starbucks and Kung Fu Tea.
Mixue seems positively too big to fail. A chain with more than 50,000 locations worldwide can’t be wrong. (Right?) But one step into the Herald Square location, and I was already exhausted. The space feels designed to force you into a sugar coma. With checkered red-and-white walls, it was overwhelming in the same way a crowded subway platform can be. Another issue: What appeared to be an upstairs seating area remained closed through all of my three visits. My taste tests would have to be conducted either hovering with other customers waiting for their items or outside in the elements. There are no tables or chairs.

We have some bubble tea places here. Can't imagine why I would ever want something sugary like that.

Haven't heard of it. Haven't heard of Luckin or Wallace either, both in top 10 globally... I guess there are a few extra customers in China.

Luckin must have extraterrestrial origins.

Yeah I wended myself off sugary drinks in late high school when I was on something of a fitness kick and now I just can’t drink them. They seem sickening. It’s weird because I can eat ice cream or chocolate shakes every day of the week so it’s not just the sugar.

Maybe Americans will unexpectedly discover that they really like sugary stuff?
