Kuwait-based beverage chain Aseer Time has opened its first store in China, expanding its footprint in the Asia-Pacific market as part of a broader push into the region’s fast-growing food and beverage sector.

The outlet is located in Quanzhou and marks the company’s 501st location worldwide. According to the company, mid-sized Chinese cities, such as Quanzhou, have experienced strong growth in food and beverage spending since 2020, driven largely by Gen Z consumers and young professionals.

Aseer Time, known locally in Kuwait as Juice Time, currently operates in 23 countries and is planning additional openings in Australia, the Netherlands and Los Angeles. Founded in 2011, the brand has scaled internationally through a franchise model. Roughly 70 per cent of its stores are operated by local partners.
