Foreign coffee brand continues bold strategy to take over US market and dethrone Starbucks with cheap drinks
Luckin Coffee dethroned Starbucks as China's largest coffee chain, and now the company is using the same aggressive tactics to seize control of America too.
Since opening its first U.S. location in May, Luckin has expanded to five in New York City.
The coffee shops operate without cashiers — instead, customers place their order on Luckin's mobile app to collect.
While base prices are similar to Starbucks, the company's strategy is to throw discount codes and coupons at customers to use in the app.
Usually, these discounts range from 30 to 50 percent off the sticker price.
While this concept is appealing to customers who are sick of paying for overpriced coffees, experts say this strategy is not sustainable.
Bernstein research shows the initial stores are operating at a loss, and the current pricing model will likely need adjustment as the chain scales.
'In the case of Luckin, the idea is I want to grow in awareness,' said Bernstein US restaurant equity research analyst Danilo Gargiulo.

Luckin made its US debut in July when it opened two locations near the campus of New York University
'They want to make sure that the brand gets recognized on a national basis, even though at the beginning, this means that I might need to be suffering from some smaller losses on a per store basis.'
Meanwhile, Gargiulo says, 'Starbucks is always striving to be profitable on a single occasion... Usually, trying to target a minimum of 15 percent margin per store is our estimation,' said Bernstein U.S restaurant equity research analyst Danilo Gargiulo.

The chain celebrated its opening with free tote bags with for the first 100 guests and $.99 drinks for early customers.
In China, the no-frills coffee chain has consistently pulled in young shoppers, with aggressive TikTok campaigns and low prices.
Luckin's strategy is clear: keep it simple and cheap. Lattes, matchas, and cold brews go for as little as $2 to $3 with the discounts applied - significantly less than Starbucks.
It also has a small assortment of pastries. Diners can order some fruit-forward refresher drinks, too.
In China, the brand has leaned into aggressive TikTok marketing and a grab-and-go model that caters to students and professionals on the run.
The actual price of Luckin's beverages aren't far from Starbucks pricing - but they shower customers with discounts

The chain has a history of undercutting Starbuck's value. A standard cup of Starbucks coffee will typically cost New Yorkers around $6 to $7.
In China, Starbucks drinks are typically 30 percent more expensive than Luckin's.
Luckin has used its simple, easily-scaled restaurants with bargain basement prices to become one of China's biggest restaurant chains.
The company was founded in 2017 and went public on the Nasdaq two years later - its share price surged in its market debut.
By 2019, the brand had overtaken Starbucks as the largest coffee chain in China.
Luckin currently has over 26,000 locations, most of them in China. Starbucks has around 8,000 stores in China.
Meanwhile, Starbucks' forray into the Chinese market is appearing to lose steam. The company is fighting off rumors that it was exploring a sale of all its Chinese store locations.
The Daily Mail has reached out to Luckin Coffee and Starbucks for comment.
