Gong cha opens 11th store in the UK in Leeds
Gong cha, one of the world’s fastest-growing global tea brands, is pleased to announce the opening of Gong cha Merrion Centre in Leeds – its 11th store in the UK.
Founded in Taiwan in 1996, Gong cha is known for its consistently high-quality, freshly brewed drinks made with premium ingredients. In 2009, the brand expanded overseas for the first time and has grown significantly and now, through master franchise agreements, has almost 1,800 locations across 20 countries.
As a key market for Gong cha, the opening of its latest store in the UK marks an important milestone in the Group’s global expansion strategy and represents another step in the Company’s continued UK expansion, following the opening of its first location in England in 2019. Now launching in a new city – its sixth in the UK – Gong cha Merrion Centre will also act as an opportunity to introduce more consumers across to the brand’s high-quality and exciting offer.
Led by its global CEO, Paul Reynish, Gong cha is targeting the opening of a new store around the world every day as consumer demand for bubble tea accelerates. According to Allied Market Research, the global bubble tea market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.5% to be worth approximately £3.6 billion by 2027, with significant growth in the UK and Europe.[1]
Paul Reynish, Global CEO of Gong cha, said: “We are delighted to launch our 11th store in the UK.
