Coinciding with the opening of its first two outlets, the Luckin Coffee app has also been launched to offer customers a seamless and tech-driven way to order their favourite beverages.

“The opening of our first two Luckin Coffee outlets in Malaysia marks an exciting milestone as we bring a globally celebrated brand to local coffee lovers,” commented Global Aroma Sdn Bhd’s CEO Dr Jeff Lim Chee Lip.
“In fact, from the signing of the master agreement to the opening of the shop, it took only 43 days, a testament to the dedication, efficiency and commitment of our team to rapidly establish and grow the brand here.”
Added Lim: “Luckin Coffee’s signature Coconut Latte which has sold over 700 million cups worldwide is now available for Malaysians to enjoy. We’re committed to delivering high-quality and innovative coffee experiences at affordable prices … this is just the beginning of our journey to make Luckin Coffee a part of everyday life here.”
Hextar Industries’ major shareholder Datuk Eddie Ong described Luckin Coffee’s journey into Malaysia as “an exciting opportunity to transform the local coffee scene”.
“As the master franchiser, we’re focused on replicating Luckin’s global success by delivering exceptional, innovative and value-for-money coffee to Malaysian consumers,” he stressed.
“This venture is about more than just coffee – it’s about creating jobs, supporting local businesses and driving growth in the F&B (food & beverage) sector.
“We aim to introduce a modern coffee experience that is accessible to all while contributing to Malaysia’s economic development and enhancing the way people connect over coffee.”
