Coffee drink sales growth at convenience stores during COVID-19 South Korea 2020
As of September 6, 2020, sales of coffee drinks at GS25 convenience stores in South Korea saw an increase compared to the previous year. Among all types of coffee drinks at convenience stores, the pouch coffee type saw the highest sales growth. Due to the stricter social distancing restrictions starting from August 30, 2020, food and beverage intake in franchise coffee shops in the metropolitan area was temporarily restricted. This caused the increased demand for coffee drinks at convenience stores.
