In 2009, the South Korean coffee chain established its first franchises abroad- opening two stores in Australia and one in Singapore.[3] From then on, the company have established branches and franchises across the world, including in the United States, Philippines, Macau, China, Mongolia, Malaysia and Hong Kong.[4] The South China Morning Post estimated that the company had 200 international stores.[5] However, this is not stated on the company's official website- which references only 70 global stores on their 'Global List'.[6]
The first store to be located in Macau was opened in September 2015.[7] As of February 2016, there are 6 to 7 retail stores opened and operating in the Los Angeles, CA (Korea town) not including 1 store in the Little Tokyo and few additional stores in other parts of the United States.[8]
