Chinese Retail Is Shaking Up U.S. Retail
Chinese and Asian-backed retail chains are rapidly expanding into the U.S., using New York as a testing ground for formats and tactics that U.S. brands rarely deploy. Examples include large-format flagship stores, fast rollouts of beverage chains, app-first ordering, social-driven product drops and ‘blind box’ merchandising psychology. Brands cited include Urban Revivo, Luckin Coffee, Heytea, Miniso, Pop Mart, H‑Mart and 99 Ranch Market.
