By GlobalDataThe coffee shop and roasting R&D facility will cover more than 2,000ft² and be equipped with a roaster and a coffee extractor.
Reborn Coffee signed a binding letter of intent (LOI) to acquire the speciality coffee shop and R&D roasting facility last month.
The retailer plans to use the coffee shop and facility as a flagship location for its Reborn concept.
The three new stores will increase the company’s total global footprint to 14 stores.
Reborn Coffee CEO Jay Kim said: “We continue to expand our retail footprint at strategically positioned locations to serve our high quality, specialty-roasted coffee.
“The surrounding area of each new location has unique characteristics, including cultural attractions, high foot and vehicle traffic, and customer demographics we believe will be attracted to our innovative coffee products and techniques.
“Looking ahead, we continue to seek out differentiated and prime locations to conduct due diligence and build on our pipeline of new company-owned locations.
“We are aggressively moving forward on strategically expanding our footprint in existing and new markets in California, the US and globally, and developing our franchise opportunity.”
