China's coffee chain Luckin is trying its very best to compete with Starbucks by spending millions of dollars on new stores.

A customer collects coffee beverages from a counter as an employee operates a till at a Luckin Coffee outlet in Beijing.

Last week, Luckin raised US$150 million from BlackRock and other investors at a valuation of US$2.9 billion. By the end of this year, Luckin aims to become the largest coffee network in China in terms of number of stores. China may become an increasingly important market for coffee retailers due to the country’s low per-capita consumption of the beverage and rising middle-class affluence, Bloomberg Intelligence analysts wrote in January.Luckin, with a focus on convenience and affordability, is seeking to lure urban office workers who don’t need the big plush spaces offered by Starbucks.
