The brand’s latest moves represent a milestone in its growth strategy, with the announcement of two pivotal openings set to redefine its footprint on the world stage.
Bacha Coffee is gearing up to debut a new location at the bustling Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA), alongside the grand unveiling of its EUR20 million flagship store on the Champs-Élysées in Paris by the end of 2024.
Taha Bouqdib, president and CEO of V3 Gourmet, the parent company of Bacha Coffee, noted the latest opening “serves as a springboard towards Europe, a cornerstone in our global expansion strategy. The opening of our flagship store in Paris is just the
beginning, with several more openings planned for 2025 and beyond.”
Having made its international debut in Singapore back in 2019, Bacha Coffee has since carved a path across Asia, with footholds in Hong Kong, Malaysia, Indonesia, Taiwan, and South Korea.
The brand has also made strides in the Gulf, with its presence in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Doha, and Kuwait City.
Bacha Coffee is gearing up to introduce multiple new stores in Hong Kong, including the bespoke travel retail boutique at HKIA. Scheduled to open its doors in the latter part of November 2024, this 36.1-square-metre concept will provide travellers with an exclusive and convenient coffee experience.
Meanwhile, the Champs-Élysées flagship store will span three floors across a sprawling 1,500-square-metrew space, spanning a boutique, a takeaway counter, and a dedicated coffee room.
As part of its broader international expansion strategy, Bacha Coffee has established new facilities in strategic locales like Marrakech and Singapore to bolster its capabilities in research and development, production, and coffee roasting.
These facilities are strategically positioned to ensure a steady supply of freshly roasted coffee to Bacha Coffee outlets worldwide, with plans underway to establish additional R&D and roasting facilities in the Middle East and Europe to further strengthen its supply chain.
Bacha Coffee said it had achieved profitability in 2023, boasting an annual revenue of SGD 95.5 million and a Profit After Tax (PAT) of SGD 2.2 million.
