Chinese coffee giant Luckin Coffee eyes US entry

The brand reported an operating income of $222.1m in Q3.

Luckin Coffee is planning to open in the US, according to its third-quarter financial report.

Non-GAAP operating income in the third quarter, which adjusts for share-based compensation expenses, was$236.1m.

As of 30 September 2024, Luckin Coffee has a total of 21,343 stores.
