而瑞幸咖啡此举也被认为，绝非简单的区域性扩张，而是对星巴克全球最重要市场之一的一次直接喊话，或预示着一场更为复杂且引人入胜的行业对决正在 悄然上演。 瑞幸的美国"第二次心跳" 瑞幸咖啡的美国市场之旅并非一帆风顺。2019年，瑞幸曾以迅雷不及掩耳之势在美国本土扩张，主打性价比和便捷取餐模式，试图复制其在中国市场的成 功。然而，随之而来的财务造假风波，如同当头一棒，不仅让其在美国市场的声誉一落千丈，也迫使其战略收缩，一度淡出了公众视野。 上海啡越投资管理有限公司董事长王振东向观察者网表示，瑞幸在美国目前显然没有采取激进的扩张，这是由于美国的咖啡市场已经非常成熟，市场渗透率 非常高，因此没有那么大的增量市场来容纳瑞幸，瑞幸需要依靠自己的产品力和品牌力逐步打开美国市场。这是一次文化逆行的过程，关键是要本土化，就 像当初星巴克来到中国一样。 所谓文化逆行是从弱势的一方进入强势的一方。瑞幸咖啡进入美国，是年轻的东方特色的咖啡模式，进入成熟的有深厚底蕴的咖啡文化发源地。可能不被接 受，也可能颠覆、重新定义咖啡文化话语权。关键在于瑞幸咖啡的模式能不能被美国市场理解并接受。 瑞幸咖啡提供 （文/夏峰琳，编辑/周远方）近日，中国 ...
