What MIXUE does

Franchisor of China's largest low-price ice-cream and bubble-tea chain, supplying ingredients and equipment to franchisees.

Most revenue comes from selling ingredients, packaging and equipment to franchisees, not from fees, so it earns as its franchised stores sell more cups. It runs its own factories and warehousing to keep prices low for franchisees, who operate almost all the stores. Listed in Hong Kong in 2025.

In one line: A vertically-integrated Dairy Queen for tea and soft-serve.

Products and services

  • Franchise & royalty fees
  • Ingredient/packaging sales to franchisees
  • Equipment sales to franchisees
  • Overseas stores (Southeast Asia)

Customers

  • Franchisee store owners
  • Consumers in China and Southeast Asia

Where it sits in the supply chain

  • Consumer staples
  • Food & beverage retail
  • Franchised tea/ice-cream chain

What could go right

  • Lower-tier China store growth
  • Overseas expansion

What could go wrong

  • Franchisee saturation in China
  • Input cost swings (sugar, dairy, fruit)

Moat: narrow (scale, distribution, brand). Self-owned supply chain and huge store count let it undercut rivals on price.
