In 2017, Peet’s Coffee teamed up with Hillhouse to make its first-ever international debut with the opening of a flagship coffeebar in Shanghai, China. Executives from Peet’s talk about how the Hillhouse team helped guide the coffee brand through the new business formation and bring its vision to life in an international market.

Today, the 3,900-square-foot flagship store together with all Peet’s stores in China maintain the company’s high-quality standards with fresh and flavorful beans roasted in its newly built Shanghai roasting factory.
