Mega MGC Coffee has begun expanding in earnest into the Southeast Asian market with the opening of its first store in Cambodia. Starting with the first location, the company plans to expand its network to major commercial districts in Phnom Penh, including Tuol Tompoung, and open a total of five stores by the end of this year.

Mega MGC Coffee said on October 8 that it had opened its first Cambodian store, the Koh Pich branch, in the capital, Phnom Penh, and begun full-scale operations. Located in Koh Pich, one of Phnom Penh's leading mixed-use development areas, the store is in a key commercial district that brings together residential, office, retail, and food-and-beverage facilities.

The store's exterior was designed with traditional Korean houses, or hanok, as its inspiration, highlighting the identity of a "K-franchise." Inside, the store retains Mega MGC Coffee's distinctive brand design while incorporating interior elements inspired by Cambodia's traditional weaving culture and local materials, setting it apart from the company's stores in Korea.

"The opening of our first store in Cambodia is a meaningful starting point for Mega MGC Coffee to take another step forward as a global brand, beyond the Southeast Asian market," said Kim Daeyoung, chairman of Mega MGC Coffee. "Drawing on the operational expertise we have built in Korea, we will carefully reflect local culture and customer needs and work closely with our partners to establish ourselves as a coffee franchise loved by Cambodian customers."

Since beginning its overseas expansion with the opening of its first store in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, in May 2024, Mega MGC Coffee has grown its overseas operations to a total of 13 stores: 12 in Mongolia and one in Cambodia.
