Portland, Ore. — Gong cha, the world’s leading bubble tea brand with nearly 2,200 locations across 33 international markets, is opening in Maine for the first time. The brand will officially open its first location in the state on June 27 in South Portland.
“One of the most exciting aspects of our growth over the past several years has been seeing Gong cha resonate in an increasingly diverse range of markets,” says Geoff Henry, president of Gong cha Americas. “What was once concentrated in a handful of major cities has evolved into a nationwide opportunity.”
The South Portland opening comes as Gong cha continues to accelerate growth across North America. The brand operates more than 240 locations across 23 states, Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico and is on track to surpass 500 locations throughout the Americas by 2028.
Gong cha is expanding through both traditional and non-traditional formats, including airports, travel centers and other high-traffic venues.
Founded in Taiwan in 2006, Gong cha is the world’s premier bubble tea brand. For more information, visit https://www.gong-cha.com/usa/us-en.
