Original: Luckin Coffee looks to events like NBA China Games as it targets youth consumers
Luckin Coffee is aligning itself with high-profile events such as the NBA China Games as part of a strategy to attract younger consumers in China. The coffee chain, which has been rebuilding its brand in recent years, is using sports and cultural occasions to build relevance with Gen Z and millennial shoppers and drive growth in a competitive market.
Why now: The NBA's return to China after years of strained relations has renewed attention on brands like Luckin tying themselves to basketball events to reach young buyers.
